STAGES OF PRODUCTION

Line Drawing

We use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to make a line drawing. With this software, you can see 2D views of your design from many different angles. These images are made to exact dimensions for precise visualisation.

Wireframe Model

After you approve the line drawing, a 3D program creates a wireframe model. State-of-the-art Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) technology allows us to create mathematical representations of any shape — from simple 2D lines, circles and curves to the most intricate 3D organic free-form surface or solid form. In short, the wireframe rendering creates a photographic likeness of your jewellery.

Machining Toolpath

We then utilize a Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) program. The rapid prototyping technology geometrically describes the form of your jewellery by using tiny, connected triangles to indicate surface and structure. Because our 3D CAD system is able to write this type of file, the CAM program calculates the milling machine toolpaths after we enter the milling parameters.

CNC Milling

Our milling machine operates via Computer Numerical Control (CNC). Our customized computer program is driven by G-code, a programming language which controls features such as a feed rate, coordination, location, and speed. CNC machining finely controls positioning and velocity via computer. The wax mold of your jewellery that we produce in this process is completely accurate.
