CAD modeling lets us achieve precision and repeatability not easily accomplished with wax and hand fabricated metal models - and has also redefined what is possible in jewelry fabrication! Once "printed" this model can be sent to a casting facility to cast into the metal of choice! Because we have a computer file of this piece, we can then easily print multiples and/or modify and scale them to achieve different sizes and variations. CAD, an acronym for Computer Aided Design, enables us to design and, in a virtual 3D environment in our computer, build the piece we design in a format that can then be 3D printed in a medium similar to wax.

Rhino is a CAD modeling program extensively used in the jewelry industry for design, prototyping, and production.
