Case Study of iMakr (LGS Business Partner 2013-2016) World’s largest consumer 3D printing retail store. including comments from Romain Kidd, CEO MyMiniFactory.

Commissioned by Peter Taylor MBE who was the director of training at The Worshipful Company of GOLDSMITHS’, two papers one on CAD terminology and the other a Software Matrix which where combined and published as a industry white paper in 2005 industry reference book held in university libraries around the World, and cited by the World Gold Council. industry equivalent to PhD.

Using practical industry experience designed to reduce the steep learning curve by demystify the technical terminology associated with the 3D industry, the jewellery industry was an early adopter of aesthetic digital design, precision engineering and AM Additive manufacturing (3D printing), termed as disruptive technology which helped quietly revolutionise the industry, following the publication The GOLDSMITHS‘ Centre link was established to provide training and workshop spaces.

The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths’, commonly known as The GOLDSMITHS’ Company, are one of the Twelve Great Livery Companies founders of the City of London, which received its first Royal Charter in 1327 giving it the authority to uphold the Silver and Gold standards, through the Hallmarking Act.
