Today we spoke about Technology integrated into Craft and our disciplines, I found it interesting how designers jumped at using 3D printers even though the work wasn't amazing it was the idea of how it was made but now this technology has been access-able for a while the work has improved and the results are amazing.

I love this piece of jewellery, it shows how precise you can make jewellery using a 3D printer and it's software especially for a scientific subject as the nervous system.
I believe this technology will only allow us to push our ideas and skills further and sometimes it's not a time saver because the files you have to create and experimenting is expensive and time consuming but for finishing results like the image above it may be the only way to create your design.
What I found more interesting was the products that weren't entirely made with technology but are a piece of technology themselves, such as this product
"Energy Addicts by Naomi Kizner - an invasive jewellery collection that converts kinetic energy from the body's involuntary movements into electricity"

The websites reads "A constant pursuer of missed compositions that believes in simple design with complex capabilities. Designs graphic experiences and a trend theorist that is looking to define the new black.
Practicing everyday escapism and likes literal minimalism.
A Designer."
These pieces have a scientific function but are beautiful objects by themselves created for scientific research that becomes a small technology by themselves.I find objects such as these so interesting from their detail to the reason why the form follows it's function, the materials that are used by the designer and how they're photographed. This whole white background and white material surrounding the products creates a futuristic ambiance.
