Jewelry Discussion

Hi to all: I have been in jewelry business for 22 years, I
design and make most of my jewelry, . I need some info regarding
computer for designing jewelry. Thanks…

Just wondering, What is the latest version of JewelCad? and Is
there any library of predefined shapes that you can offer as a
public domain. I would be happy to offer a space on ganoksin.com
for such.

For those of you who have received your copy of jewelcad, How
are you doing? Perhaps we can use this forum to ask questions
about designing jewelry with the use of a computer. Some of you
already have experience, so let’s help the less fortunate.

Dmitry visits this site and I expect he’ll be helping everybody.
Let’s get the questions rolling. The manufacturers of Jewelcad
will also be involved in the dialog. And of course anyone who
needs more info on the Sanders Model Maker, I’ll be happy to
help.

Regards,
Rolf

Contact Bert Fendt at the Gesswein Company, they have everything
you are looking for. The Sanders Model Maker has been sold
worldwide and there are over 100 systems in the jewelry market.
If you came to the JA show in NYC, you would have been able to
see designers using a computer to design jewelry and then see
the Sanders Model Maker actually producing the jewelry while you
watch. 20

If you’re interested in receiving a demo copy of JewelCad, let
me know. For those that have not yet received there’s, be
patient, it’s coming.

We will be demonstrating this equipment and software at MJSA in
both NYC and Providence RI, and in Basel. I’ll let you know
what booths we will be in.

Regards,
Rolf

Hay all wish spring would spring. Any way it is good that others
are looking into CAD CAM CNC. Lookup http://www.rhino3d.com. You
can down load a bata from them. it is a cool program. I bought it
and I am having a blast with it. True

True, since you are designing jewelry using rhino, send me an
stl file and I’ll build it for you on the Model Maker. For your
many jewelry companies use rhino. I just think that
it is easier to learn Jewelcad because it already has a library.

does it have the same degree of versatility and sophistication
in modelling tools, though? Rhino does some pretty amazing
things…

True: I know your name and I know that I know you, but cannot
put my finger on it. A name from my past life? I’m Jeff
Kaiser. Formerly from the Twin Cities, now in Northern Minnesota,
I’m a retail jeweler. Help me out. It’s driving me nuts…

HI! Probably when I took the Gemological Institute diamond
setting course in Minneapolis years ago. Good to hear from you,
hope your business has gone well, I am now in the process of
retiring from making all that stuff that customers want and will
concentrate on doing “my own thing”. My husband retired from
dentistry and wants me to travel more. But you know you can’t
stop being what you “are”. So will just work at the big stuff.
Like setting those gems that have been lanquishing in my safe
for years.

We just returned last nite from Edmonton,Canada as we were
visiting friends and attended the Canadian Men’s Curling
Championship. What fun, but am tired today and playing catch up
with 350 E-Mails. Pat p.s. will be adding some enamel work to
the web site next month check it out then.
