3D Printed Photogrammetry Earrings

Capture any object through the amazing process of photogrammetry. Through that you can model and modify it to be part of any design of your choosing.

Begin with a clean setup with out any distracting items in the background. Make sure it is all one color that will make the object you are photographing stand out. It will also be helpful to have a rotating device such as a lazy susan so that the object can be captured consistently 360 degrees.

Begin by slowly rotating the object then taking a photo till you get the entire surround 360 degrees of the chosen object. You should have at least 20 to 25 images of the object.

Upload all the images to Recap Pro so that it can create a model from the captured images. The process will take a while to create it. The software will create an extremely realistic model of your project.

Export the model as an OBJ. and bring it into Mesh Mixer to clean up any holes an make it a solid and printable object. You are able to increase the thickness, smooth, add other geometric shapes, and cut away material and more.

After make patching and cleaning your model, you are able to add in earring attachments and modify it to become your earring design.

After 3d printing the models, assemble the earrings with the hardware. In this case I combined my 3d prints with hoop earrings and primed it to be one entire jewelry.

Once the paint is dry, try on your new earrings!
