A newly established Hong Kong-based wedding shop has turned to 3D printing technology in order to help shoppers find the perfect wedding ring.

The new shop, which was launched by Chinese company Forever Couple on May 12, is now offering 3D scanning and 3D printing sample services to its customers who are looking to purchase wedding rings with the perfect measurement, shape and fit.

The new Hong Kong wedding shop is said to be located on the Lee Tung Street at Wan Chai, covering about 2,000 square feet of space.

Using 3D scanning technology, the store can now measure the size and shape of a customer's hand and finger, in order to produce a 3D printed ring sample. The sample can then be used to determine its comfortability. Additionally, the 3D scanning process takes around two minutes, while the 3D printing process takes about eight minutes.

Forever Couple's new 3D printing service was launched in partnership with the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), according to a report by 3DERS. The report added that the company is aspiring to "apply to the Hong Kong Brand Development Council's 'Made in Hong Kong Flag' program, to realize a special Hong Kong-brand wedding ring."

In China, 3D printing technology is becoming very popular in many different areas and industries including in the production of jewelry. Last March, Beijing-based company Yibo3D had launched China's first miniature 3D metal printer that was designed to print metal objects including jewelry. Called the "YBRP-140 SLM", the 3D printer is capable of producing small pieces of jewelry using different materials such as iron, titanium, and silver.
