Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 3D modeling process work?
Our process begins with your sketch or 2D drawing. We create a 3D digital sculpture, provide photo-realistic images for approval, and deliver a high-resolution STL file ready for 3D printing in castable wax or resin.
Can you convert a hand-drawn sketch into a 3D jewelry model?
Yes. We specialize in converting artistic 2D concepts into symmetrical or organic 3D forms that maintain the “hand-carved” aesthetic while ensuring technical precision for casting.
What 3D file formats do you provide for jewelry manufacturing?
We primarily deliver high-resolution STL files, which are the industry standard for 3D wax printing and milling. Upon request, we can also provide 3DM (Rhino), OBJ, or ZTL (ZBrush) files if you require the native source data for further editing.
Are your 3D models “watertight” and ready for casting?
Yes. Every model we produce is verified for manifold integrity (watertight mesh). We ensure there are no flipped normals or open edges, making the files 100% ready for Solidscape, EnvisionTEC, Formlabs, and other professional wax/resin printers.
Can you optimize 3D models for specific metal shrinkage?
Absolutely. We can scale models to account for the standard 1.5% to 3% shrinkage associated with investment casting and rubber mold stripping, ensuring your final gold or platinum piece maintains its intended dimensions and stone-setting tolerances.
