Additive Manufacturing of Precious Metal Jewellery (PRECIOUS)

该项目旨在迅速使贵金属珠宝首饰的3D打印（或增材制造）过程达到完全商业成熟，目前少数英国公司处于不同的部分准备阶段。为了实现这一目标，我们联盟的成员将共同努力，通过使用一些聪明的、解决问题的、端到端的系统集成来解决一些悬而未决的问题。从优化设计创作和开发过程，到解决各种已知的制造问题，生产出设计精良、高品质、高度抛光、可商业销售的珠宝首饰。为了实现这一目标，联合体合作伙伴还将建立可操作和可行的供应、分销和价值链，有效反映该项目所需的新商业模式的发展。

This project is aimed at rapidly bringing to full commercial maturity the proces of 3D-Printing (or Additive Manufacturing) of precious metal jewellery items that is currently at varying stages of partial readiness at a small number of UK companies. To achieve this the members of our consortium will work together to mutually solve a number of outstanding problems by use of some clever, problem solving, end-to-end system integrations. Ranging from optimising the design creation and development process, through the various known manufacturing issues to produce items of well designed, high quality and highly polished, commercially saleable jewellery. To achieve this the consortium partners will also create operational and viable supply, distribution and value chains that reflect effectively the development of the new business model this project requires.
