The Coralea Series is a collection of 3D-printed earrings that combines modern manufacturing technology with natural shapes. Developed by Austrian designer Julia Koerner, the designs are based on the structure and growth dynamics of coral. The delicate patterns and organic shapes are created through digital modeling and are manufactured using high-precision 3D printing technology.
By using resin 3D printers from Elegoo, fine structures can be created with an accuracy of less than one millimeter. This manufacturing method makes it possible to create complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to realize using traditional methods. The use of bio-based materials also supports a sustainable manufacturing process that is powered by renewable energy.
The integration of beads into the design combines classic elements with modern design techniques. The result is an interplay of traditional materials and digital manufacturing processes that takes both aesthetic and functional aspects into account. The lightweight construction of the jewelry pieces ensures that they are comfortable to wear, while the virtually waste-free production process optimizes the use of materials.
The collection is manufactured in Los Angeles for the North American market and in Vienna for European and international customers. The combination of additive manufacturing, sustainable materials and digital design methodology underlines the growing importance of 3D printing in the jewelry sector and demonstrates its potential for innovative design solutions.
