I run a singular Artist studio in Phila. contemporary jewelry
,tableware,and sculptures are what I design and make.

I have become very interested in CAD lately and am having trouble
finding info.on which direction I should head and what or which
type of software I should go with. I have heard of jewel CAD;
where do I go to find more about it ? and what about all the
rest of the software out there? I saw DIEHL GRAPHSOFT mini cad in
action …it was good,but not made for the jewelry feild.is there
a program out there that can handle large and small
(rings,ladles) projects…?

Hratch, Try Rhino’s CAD program. You can download a free trial
(50 uses) version and the manual from their website at
http://www.rhino3d.com/ You also might want to look at the work
being done by the Tyler grad students at
http://blue.temple.edu/~crafts/mjcc.html Please note that the
Tyler program is right there in Phila. at Temple Univ.
