Specific as to CAD:
Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use
of computer technology aiding in the design and
especially the drafting (technical drawing and engineering
drawing) of a part or product that has become a
standard in the jewelry
industry today. It is both a visual (or drawing)
and symbol-based way of communication whose conventions
are particular to a specific technical field.
Drafting can be done in two dimensions ("2D")
and three dimensions ("3D").
Drafting is the essential communication of technical
or engineering drawings and is the industrial arts
sub-discipline that lies under all involved technical
endeavors. In showing complex, three-dimensional
objects in two-dimensional drawings, objects have
traditionally been represented by three projected
views at right angles.
Because of the high cost of rapid prototyping equipment
and the high level of technical expertise required
to reliably produce perfect parts, the trend int
he jewelry industry is to use specialized third-party
service bureaus. We are such a bureau.
What we offer:
We offer reduced time and cost for jewelry designers
and their clients with state-of-the-art technology.
Our machines build wax models from computer files
using thermoplastics that are perfect components
for investment casting.

In the past jewelry
design was greatly hindered by difficult communication
between the customer and the jeweler. The only option
for executing a jewelry design was looking through
a stock jewelry design catalogue. Whenever the customer
had a vision or idea which was not realized in the
finished piece of jewelry the sale became very difficult.
With computer aided design (cad)
model making has taken a wonderful new direction.
With us the jewelry stores and jewelry customers
can actually see their idea before the creation
stage. More important benefits to cad jewelry design
is accuracy and affordability. Your jewelry
design can now be manufactured with incredible
symmetry because the jewelry
wax model is created using our in house rapid
prototyping machines.
Our systems reduce cost and time-to-market by transforming
CAD Designs into hard copy 3D models. These models
are so accurate that designers can go beyond concept
modeling to achieve tooling grade patterns ready
for casting or mold-making.
Jointly CAD/CAM allows the design of jewelry using
a computer (CAD) and creates an exact hard copy
model of a jewelry piece using a computer controlled
manufacturing device (CAM). Our technicians and
draftys persons utilize all file types compatible
with any CAM device, which
allows us to quickly generate a precise wax model
ready for casting.
Stereolithography and other hard model technologies
are the definite future of the jewelry industry.
Leading jewelers effectively use CAM "service
bureaus" that specialize in prototype output.
Staff:
Our technicians have been in the jewelry
business since 1983, operating in various branches
of the industry. We are some of the finest jewelry
manufacturers and jewelers in the industry.
With our fist-hand knowledge and experience in CAD
and throughout the jewelry manufacturing process
from start to finish, we always deliver quality. |
