In our world we are surrounded by objects. They are either mass produced, 3D printed, manufactured with unique techniques or hand-crafted. Some of toys, furtniture pieces, homewares, fashion and jewelry accessories can be found at anyone's place, while others will be an exception.
Despite the method of manufacturing or how widespread the product is, anyone always pays attention to the design.

On 7th November 2017 we went to Emerging Applications Summit in Singapore. The event gathered over 300 delegates from all over the world to discuss the role of 3D printing in emerging applications.

MALINKO Design spotted a number of interesting developments in 3D printing and additive manufacturing, that we share in this article.

Do you remember your childhood? The times when you were busy exploring the world around you and testing new things and being amazed by stuff you uncovered. You have certainly come up with a solution or two that would be considered rather unusual by an adult you. Was it fun? We are sure it was!

We are honored and excited to present our playful designer homewares and jewelry items at the Dutch Design Week in Einhoven, thanks to tremendous support from Shapeways.

After nine months of careful preparations we are showcasing our products at London Design Fair 2017. Our latest developments are a variety of 3D printed metal, plastic and ceramic articles with intricate finishes.

While some suggest that 3D printing is a substitute for all manufacturing processes, it is far from being true. 3D printing is a perfect manufacturing technique for making small batches of products and is great for intricate designs where no other manufacturing technique will work. However, by simply using 3D printing we limit ourselves to one production process and miss out on unique and surprising finishes and unusual materials.

Many of you have heard of 3D printing by now. But not many people realize how much this technology has developed in the last five years with dozens of new materials and finishes added. Thanks to this, designers can bring their wildest dreams to life and create truly amazing products that are impossible to replicate with any other manufacturing method.

This is not a secret that for the last two years I lived in Singapore and this truly amazing city have inspired me to design a number of new and innovative pieces!

We had a number of customers asking how would we style the pieces from our new 3D printed 'Embroidery' collection? So we have created a few looks that we think will go perfect with our Mini pendant.

Today's theme is 'Classy'...
