CAD/CAM Services

The sky is the limit when it comes to jewelry designing. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to take what your imagination creates and turn it into an actual product. That is why you should consider Casting House’s professional CAD/CAM services.

Let Your Creativity Shine With Our CAD/CAM Services

Our CAD/CAM services allow jewelry stores and jewelry designers to think outside the box when it comes to creating custom jewelry. No longer are they bound by what they can physically create by hand. Instead, a computer software program can help turn a creative and innovative design concept into reality.

The CAD/CAM services at Casting House are ideal for jewelry designers that want to create new pieces for their own private line or for jewelry stores. Jewelry stores will also find these services helpful as they can offer customers the chance to create unique, personalized pieces of jewelry; or they can create one-of-a-kind jewelry only sold at specific jewelry stores.

Discover the Difference Between CAD and CAM Services

CAD and CAM services are often thought to be the same, but they are two different types of services that can help jewelry stores and jewelry designers.

CAD (computer-aided design) describes the use of computer software programs to create 2D or 3D models. When creating the models in a CAD software program, Casting House provides its customers with the ability to view the piece of jewelry from all types of angles — including the inside, from the top, or the sides.

When the design phase using the CAD software is complete, we deliver a screenshot from the .STL or .3DM file(s) along with digital renders to illustrate the entire design and layout of the jewelry piece for final approval. That file is then used to create physical prototypes of the jewelry, which are made with the use of CAM software and growing machines.

CAM (computer-aided modeling) is the use of software programs and machinery to create and manufacture a 3D object. Upon completion of working with a CAM program and machines, a 3D wax model is created which physically represents the way the final product will look.

CAD and CAM services are often combined because they are so similar. Typically, the CAD software is used to create a digital layout of a piece of jewelry, whereas the CAM software/growing machines generate a prototype of the final product.
