Sculpteo, one of the original internet 3D printing service providers, has opened a gallery within Amazon’s jewellery section offering dozens of designs from some of their best studios.
Featuring designers like Nervous System, Monomer, Sweet Glucose Design, Dyvsign and Ricapuli, the pieces that are being sold on Amazon are unique, eye-catching and affordable. It makes sense to use designs that will get as much attention as possible as it shows consumers unfamiliar with 3D printing exactly what the technology is capable of.
These jewellery pieces will probably be the largest direct access that the concept of 3D printing has ever had into the mainstream retail market. A lot of people visit Amazon, and a lot of people buy jewellery from the site. The jewellery section on Amazon.com sells over 57,000 items directly from the site, and almost two million if you factor in third party sellers and affiliates.
Amazon CEO Bezos may not have fully appreciated 3D printing in the past, but this is likely to change in the near future.
