Section I Understanding JewelCAD
JewelCAD is a computer-aided design system software specifically for jewelry that was successfully developed by a Hong Kong CAD/CAM company in 1990. After over a decade of development and improvement, JewelCAD has evolved from a limited-function drawing software into a powerful, stable, highly specialized, and efficient, professional jewelry design/manufacturing software widely adopted in major jewelry production areas in Europe, America, and Asia.
While the automation of production and processing in the jewelry industry has significantly improved efficiency, JewelCAD matches modern jewelry design and has been widely disseminated in current commercial applications. Its unique modeling concepts and tools allow jewelry designers to easily create three-dimensional jewelry objects, and it also integrates perfectly with CNC and RP rapid prototyping, making it a modern jewelry design software with broad development prospects. As a professional jewelry design software, JewelCAD has clear advantages over other 3D software in creating three-dimensional models of jewelry, which is reflected in the following benefits.
(1) Easy to operate, simple, and easy to learn.
(2) It has flexible drawing tools, which are very convenient for drawing curves and complex shapes.
(3) It has powerful surface modeling tools that flexibly create or modify complex designs.
(4) The rendering speed is fast; you can also compare various design effect images. The quality of the effect images is high, and the simulation is strong. It allows rotating to observe the three-dimensional effect, intuitively reflecting the final product effect.
(5) Its operation is highly efficient and suitable for changing jewelry styles.
(6) A rich professional database and various editing tools facilitate the combination and redesign of jewelry, making operations more convenient and efficient.
(7) Applying the principles of Boolean operations in software can easily unite surfaces that are in a free state.
(8) In the design, the weight of the gold, quantity, and size can be calculated directly.
(9) Can build a database to visualize design ideas and improve efficiency.
(10) The graphics drawn with JewelCAD are clearer and more consistent, reducing the likelihood of errors caused by unclear writing or poor drawing quality. It can directly output paperless images, saving time, effort, and money.
