JewelCAD is a specialized 3D CAD application built for professional jewelry design. It combines intuitive freeform modeling with jewelry‑specific tools, making it easy to create, refine, and prepare rings, pendants, earrings, and bespoke pieces for production.
Key features:
- Jewelry-focused modeling: NURBS-based curves and surfaces with sweeps, lofts, blends, fillets, and precise control‑point editing for organic shapes and fine details.
- Stone-setting tools: Place and manage gemstones with preset sizes; create prongs, bezels, channels, pavé arrays, halos, and seats with automated helpers.
- Symmetry and sizing: Mirror, pattern, and array functions; ring sizing with proportional scaling to quickly explore design variations.
- Libraries and templates: Reusable shanks, heads, galleries, and findings, plus custom component libraries to speed up common workflows.
- Visualization and rendering: Material presets for metals and gemstones, realistic lighting, and image output suitable for client reviews.
- Production-ready output: Export to standard formats such as STL/OBJ with controllable mesh quality for 3D printing and CNC; estimate volume and weight by material.
- Drafting and documentation: Generate 2D views, dimensions, and annotations for workshop communication.
Who it’s for: Jewelry designers, CAD modelers, artisans, and manufacturers who need a fast, dedicated tool for custom work, small-batch production, or rapid prototyping.
Benefits: Short learning curve compared to general-purpose CAD, efficient gemstone workflows, accurate manufacturing handoff, and flexible freeform modeling for intricate or organic designs.
