Precision 3D CAD Modeling for Jewelry
Manufacturing-ready files with exact stone setting tolerances and shrinkage compensation—so your castings and settings fit the first time.
We build production-ready 3D models so your team can move from concept to casting without rework. Every curve, prong, and setting is engineered for your process, with deliverables in the formats your shop uses.
Ideal for jewelry manufacturers, retailers, and independent designers who need production-ready CAD and clear timelines.
- Fixed quote up front
- Production-ready .3dm, STL, OBJ
- 3–5 day turnaround for simple pieces
- Revisions included in scope
Why manufacturers and designers work with us
We focus on the details that reduce rework and speed up your production.
Exact stone setting tolerances
Eliminate casting rejects and hand-fitting. Our CAD models use manufacturing-grade tolerances so settings fit stones and findings the first time.
Shrinkage compensation built in
We apply metal-specific shrinkage factors so cast pieces match your design dimensions. No surprise size drift or rework.
Predictable turnaround
Clear milestones and delivery dates. Get production-ready files when you need them, without last-minute surprises.
Production-ready deliverables
Receive files in the formats your shop uses: .3dm, STL, OBJ, and more. Ready for casting, milling, or additive manufacturing.
From brief to production-ready files
A clear, technical process so you know what to expect at each step.
Step 1: Consultation & brief
We review your sketches, tech packs, or reference images and confirm metal type, stone sizes, and any special requirements. You get a fixed scope and quote.
Step 2: Parametric CAD modeling
Our specialists build your piece in MatrixGold or Rhino 7 with correct prong counts, seat angles, and structural integrity. Models are fully editable for future iterations.
Step 3: Stone setting verification
We validate every setting for fit and clearance. Stone dimensions and tolerances are checked against your specs so castings are setting-ready.
Step 4: Shrinkage compensation & prep
Metal-specific shrinkage is applied. Files are cleaned and prepared for your chosen process (lost wax, direct print, or CNC) and sent for your review.
Step 5: Delivery & handoff
You receive production-ready files in your requested formats, plus a summary sheet. Revisions are available during the approval window.
Core services and deliverables
Technical scope and what you receive for each service type.
Ring & band CAD modeling
Full 3D models for solitaires, bands, and multi-stone rings with anatomically correct shanks and sizing.
Deliverables: .3dm, STL, OBJ. Shrinkage applied. Stone seats verified.
Pendant & necklace components
Bails, links, and pendants with correct gauge, clasp compatibility, and weight considerations.
Deliverables: .3dm, STL. Optional chain specs and assembly notes.
Earring & finding CAD
Posts, backs, and decorative elements with proper threading or friction fit and durability in mind.
Deliverables: .3dm, STL. Post sizes per your standard.
Complex settings & custom work
Pavé, channel, and specialty settings with verified stone counts and structural integrity.
Deliverables: .3dm, STL, OBJ. Full BOM and setting notes.
Revision & optimization
Updates to existing CAD for sizing, design tweaks, or manufacturing optimization (e.g. wall thickness, sprue placement).
Turnaround based on scope. Same quality standards as new models.
Software and expertise
We use industry-standard tools chosen for jewelry manufacturing workflows.
MatrixGold
Jewelry-native CAD with strong stone-setting and manufacturing tools. We use it for rings, settings, and parametric families so your designs scale and iterate quickly.
Rhino 7
Industry-standard NURBS modeling for complex surfaces and technical accuracy. Ideal for one-off pieces and when you need maximum control over geometry.
Materialise Magics
Used to prepare and optimize files for 3D printing and casting. Ensures clean meshes, proper wall thickness, and support strategy for additive workflows.
Frequently asked questions
What file formats do you deliver?
We typically deliver .3dm (Rhino), STL, and OBJ. Other formats (e.g. STEP, FBX) can be provided on request. All files are production-ready and cleaned for your process.
How do you handle shrinkage compensation?
We apply metal-specific shrinkage factors (e.g. for gold, silver, platinum) so the printed or milled model scales correctly. Factors are confirmed with you before final delivery.
Can you work from hand sketches or photos?
Yes. We work from sketches, technical drawings, reference photos, or existing pieces. Clear dimensions and stone sizes help us hit your expectations faster.
What is your typical turnaround time?
Simple bands or solitaires often ship within 3–5 business days. Complex settings or multi-stone pieces may take 1–2 weeks. We quote a specific timeline at project start.
Do you offer revisions?
Yes. We include a defined number of revision rounds in the quote. Additional rounds can be added. Revisions are limited to the approved scope to keep timelines predictable.
Are your models suitable for 3D printing and casting?
Yes. Our output is built for lost-wax casting, direct metal printing, or milling. We can optimize for your specific equipment and material if you share requirements.
Do you provide stone setting specifications?
Yes. We document stone sizes, counts, and setting types in the delivery package. This helps your bench team or outsourced setters work efficiently.
Who owns the CAD files after delivery?
You receive full rights to use, modify, and manufacture from the delivered files. We do not retain ownership of your design IP.
