Explaining a Jewelry Design Process: Using a generative Design Method Called Shape Grammars and Producing the Product with 3D Printing

It is a practice-based research that studies a generative design method called shape grammar to create original forms for a jewelry product. In the research, the snowflake geometry is examined. New geometries are created based on the rules of shape grammar. In the second phase of the design process, the 3D printing production technique is worked on. Depending on the limits of the 3D printer, the final details of the necklace are decided. Finally, the design is tested and produced by a 3D printing machine. The research aims to experience a new production technique with a design method.
