Process // Pipeline
One pipeline, every unit. Grillz, signet rings, and the categories on deck all move through the same four phases — scan, design, manufacture, finish — engineered against the captured anatomy and audited at sub-25-micron tolerance from the lab in Canggu. The page below is the protocol, end to end.
01//Pipeline
Hardware is engineered, not crafted. Grillz, rings, and every category on deck run through the same four phases — only the capture method and the bench time change.
01 //
Every commission starts from the body. Grillz begin with a sub-25-micron intraoral scan — taken at the bench in Canggu or transmitted from a partner dentist. Rings begin with a calibrated finger sizing at the seat position. Future hardware classes carry their own capture protocols. The output is the anatomical reference your unit will be engineered against, archived on file.
02 //
Hardware is engineered against the captured reference in the Digital Void — the CAD environment where geometry is solved before any metal moves. Snap-Fit surfaces for grillz; sized bands and engineered signet faces for rings; anatomy-mapped clips for the categories on deck. Stone positions plotted, clearance and occlusion simulated. Nothing leaves the workstation until the spec is locked.
03 //
Three fabrication pipelines, picked by alloy and geometry. Precision Centrifugal Casting for silver and gold. CNC Milling for subtractive work from solid medical-grade blocks. SLM — Selective Laser Melting — for titanium and CoCr, the same fabrication class deployed on aerospace turbine blades and surgical implants.
04 //
Mirror polish, matte texture, or electroplated finish. Stones set by hand under loupe — moissanite, VVS lab diamond, VVS natural diamond, Australian opal. Final pass is a category-specific fit audit: Snap-Fit verification for grillz, sizing check for rings, integrity tests for every other class. Units that drift outside tolerance return to the pipeline.

02//Techniques
Phase 03 expanded. Hardware ships through one of three fabrication routes — the studio picks the route the moment your spec is locked. None of the three is the catch-all; each exists because the others fail at something specific.
T-01
Wax pattern grown from CAD, vacuumed in plaster, molten alloy thrown into the void under centrifugal force. The wax burns off as the metal sets. Reproduces geometry at sub-millimeter tolerance with the grain structure suited for stone-setting and daily wear.
T-02
Subtractive fabrication from solid medical-grade blocks. No porosity, no fusion lines, no cast grain. Reserved for hardware that needs continuous metal integrity — certain ring shanks, structural titanium parts, custom tooling that has to take repeated load without seam failure.
T-03
Fine titanium powder fused layer-by-layer by a focused laser. The same fabrication class deployed on aerospace turbine blades and orthopedic implants. Enables internal voids, lattice structures, and weight-optimized geometries impossible in subtractive milling.
03//Tolerance
The figure isn't a marketing claim — it's the acceptance criterion that gates every phase of the pipeline. A unit that drifts outside 25 microns at any audit gets returned to the bench. Hardware ships when it doesn't drift, not when the bench runs out of time.
Reference // Scale
A micron is one-thousandth of a millimeter. Twenty-five microns is roughly half the width of a single red blood cell, and a third the diameter of a human hair. Every commission — grillz, ring, or otherwise — is referenced against the captured anatomy at that scale, from capture through CAD geometry to the final bench audit.
The tolerance is what makes Snap-Fit reversible on a grillz, sizing exact on a ring, and every future category lifetime-stable on the body. A 50-micron drift on a cap is the difference between a unit that seats every time and one the wearer stops trusting after three weeks. A ring band drifts the same way. We hold the figure because the geometry doesn't forgive anything looser.
04//Enter the pipeline
Two studios are open. Configure grillz against your dental geometry, or configure a signet ring against your finger size — both render in 3D, both quote against current spot price, both feed the same fabrication pipeline.
