While 3D printing is now an available and maturing technology for production, this collection tested capabilities and pushed printing limitations, from theory to applications. Turns out 3D printing is not a simple plug and play, but requires a tremendous amount of calibration, engineering and redesigning. From the development of the collection, we are proud to have gained a deeper understanding of printing applications and pushed the limits with our partners. This is especially true for the printing of precious metal as this is the first platinum-centric collection developed to “exploit” the advantages of 3D printing; and launched as a commercial collection, not just for R&D purposes.

The Tùsaire collection is a groundbreaking range of extraordinary platinum jewellery, named after the Scottish Gaelic word for ‘pioneer’ — those who go where others have not.

Customisation and Personalisation: 3D printing allows us to create bespoke sizing, mix and match of components, and customised colours through anodised titanium.

Reduced Waste: As an additive manufacturing process, 3D printing uses less material than traditional methods, especially when it comes to chemical waste in traditional casting.

Design Complexity and Innovation: This collection pushes the boundaries of intricate, unique shapes that would be impossible otherwise (such as lattice, hollow structures and detailed textures).

Direct Design: 3D printing unlocks a new way of working straight from concept to creation, giving designers more control over the outcome of their designs.
