Neoshapes and Incus bring LMM 3D printing to luxury watch and jewelry sectors
Partnership combines precision metal additive manufacturing with high-resolution lithography-based systems for complex designs in precious metals
Two European technology firms are collaborating to introduce high-precision 3D printing to the luxury watchmaking and jewelry industries. Geneva-based Neoshapes SA and Vienna-based Incus GmbH have entered a strategic partnership that integrates Incus’s Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM) systems into Neoshapes’ end-to-end precious metal additive manufacturing offering.
Neoshapes offers a vertically integrated platform for 3D printing in precious metals, encompassing powder production, design, printing, finishing, and consultancy services. The company positions its offering as a way for watch and jewelry makers to adopt additive manufacturing without compromising on craftsmanship or material quality.
“With Incus’s LMM systems, we can offer our partners the ability to bring visionary designs to life in precious metals — faster, more sustainably, and with the uncompromising quality that defines their artistry,” said Stéphane Vigié, Chief Executive Officer of Neoshapes SA.
Incus’s hardware portfolio includes the Hammer PRO25 and EVO35, both designed for high-resolution metal part production. While initially developed for sectors such as medical and industrial tooling, the printers are now being tailored to meet the aesthetic demands of the luxury sector.
“This partnership allows us to bring our technology into the heart of the world’s most demanding and creative industries,” said Dr. Gerald Mitteramskogler, Chief Executive Officer of Incus GmbH. “Together, we are giving luxury brands new tools to innovate without limits — where every micron matters, and every detail tells a story.”
The companies report that initial collaborations are underway with several luxury manufacturers in Switzerland, though no specific brand names or production timelines have been disclosed.
