mission-critical (meaning lives don't hang in the balance the way they do in
a 3D printed aircraft part) makes jewelry a popular thing to design and print.
One of the most well-known and earliest designers in the 3D printing
space is Bathsheba Grossman. Bathsheba designs sculpture, jewelry and house-
wares whose geometrics represent famous laws of mathematics and physics.
Bathsheba's designs have a common theme: math.
This 3D printed piece by designer Bathsheba represents a
mathematical concept called a “Klein Bottle” that she adapted
to be a bottle opener.
On her website, Bathsheba writes “I'm an artist exploring the region between
art and mathematics.” A typical design is the physical capture of a famous
mathematical algorithm, the Borromean Rings, in a pendant made of three
interlocking rings whose edges never touch. Like the Borromean Ring pendant,
most of Bathsheba's creations have intricate and repeating inner geometries
