Facetra is an AI-powered jewellery design workflow platform for Indian ateliers. It converts hand sketches into photorealistic renders, multi-view technical sheets, live-gold-rate Bill of Materials, and downloadable 3D meshes (GLB/STL/OBJ/FBX). Built for Jadau, Polki, Kundan, Meenakari, Temple and Rajwadi styles.

Does Facetra replace CAD software like Rhino or MatrixGold?

No. Facetra is a workflow layer that produces the reference material (renders, multi-view sheets, BOM, 3D mesh) a CAD operator uses. Your CAD bench continues to use Rhino, MatrixGold or JewelCAD to retopologize the mesh into a cast-ready model.

What jewellery styles does Facetra support?

Traditional Indian styles: Jadau, Polki, Kundan, Meenakari, Temple, Rajwadi. Modern styles: solitaire, halo, cluster, tennis, cocktail. The rendering vocabulary understands craft terms like chaton, bezel, prong, jaali, nakashi and meena work.

What 3D formats does Facetra export?

GLB (default), STL, OBJ, FBX, USDZ, GLTF and 3MF. Two quality tiers: Standard (25 credits, 4K PBR) and HD (35 credits, native 8K PBR).

How much does Facetra cost?

Credit-based pricing. Studio render 1 credit, multi-view sheet 4 credits, CAD-ready 1 credit, 3D mesh 25-35 credits. Credit packs: Starter ₹1,500 for 100 credits (₹15/credit), Studio ₹7,000 for 500 credits (₹14/credit), Atelier ₹15,600 for 1,300 credits (₹12/credit). New signups get 10 free credits.

Is my design confidential on Facetra?

Yes. Every design lives in a private per-user storage bucket. Nothing is public, nothing is shared with other users, nothing is used to train shared AI models.

AI 2D Image to 3D CAD for Jewellery — Production-Ready Mesh

One 2D image — sketch, render or photo — one production-ready 3D CAD mesh. STL / OBJ / GLB / FBX / USDZ / 3MF, manifold, wall-thickness-aware, ready for Rhino / MatrixGold / JewelCAD retopology or direct-to-wax printing.

Start rendering — 10 free credits How it works

Producing a 3D CAD file from a 2D jewellery image is the workflow's most expensive bottleneck. Traditional route: a CAD operator in Rhino or MatrixGold spends 6-14 hours modelling from the reference render at ₹5,000-₹15,000 per mesh, and every client variation restarts the meter.

Facetra's AI 2D-image-to-3D-CAD pipeline collapses that to 3-5 minutes and ~₹300-₹420 per mesh. Output is a manifold STL (or GLB / OBJ / FBX / USDZ / 3MF) with correct wall thickness for lost-wax casting (0.6-0.8 mm) or DMLS 3D printing (1-2 mm). Your CAD bench retopologises against Facetra's silhouette-faithful geometry instead of modelling from scratch — saving 4-12 hours per piece.

What is AI 2D-image-to-3D-CAD for jewellery?

AI 2D-image-to-3D-CAD for jewellery is a mesh-generation workflow that reads a single 2D image and produces a full 3D CAD file — manifold surface, correct volume, wall-thickness-aware for casting or DMLS printing. Unlike photogrammetry (needs 30-100 photos, 2-4 hours) or NeRF (produces a point cloud, not a manufacturable mesh), Facetra works from one image and outputs immediately-usable CAD geometry. It flows into Rhino / MatrixGold / JewelCAD for retopology or straight to a wax printer for client-approval prototypes.

What Facetra 2D-to-3D-CAD delivers

Every CAD format — STL, GLB, OBJ, FBX, USDZ, 3MF — Rhino, MatrixGold, JewelCAD, ZBrush, Blender all accept out of the box
Manifold + wall-thickness-aware — safe for lost-wax casting (0.6-0.8 mm) or DMLS 3D printing (1-2 mm)
Two quality tiers — Standard (15 credits, ~₹180) and HD (25 credits, ~₹300) with 4× polygon density and finer detail
Style-aware volume — Kundan chaton scalloped depth, Polki foil-back layer separation, temple nakashi repoussé relief modelled correctly
Bilateral symmetry locked — earring pairs, necklace panels stay pixel-mirrored across the axis
In-browser WebGL preview — rotate, zoom, orbit and share with the client for pre-manufacture approval
Auto-Split component detection — decompose a Rani Haar with 30 chatons into 30 individually addressable meshes

The Facetra workflow (six steps, one afternoon)

Upload one 2D image — a sketch, a Facetra render, a competitor render, a DSLR photo of a reference piece, or a Rhino / MatrixGold screenshot.
Pick quality tier — Standard (15 credits) for client approval, HD (25 credits) for direct-to-printer or direct-to-cast.
Optional: pick style preset (Kundan / Jadau / Polki / Diamond / Temple / …) so the volume-modeller uses the right anatomy.
Facetra generates the 3D CAD mesh in 3-5 minutes.
Preview in the browser or download STL / GLB / OBJ / FBX / USDZ / 3MF.
Hand the mesh to your CAD bench for retopology in Rhino / MatrixGold, or send directly to a wax printer for a rapid prototype.

Frequently asked questions

Is the output truly production-ready or a design reference?

It's design-reference geometry that a CAD operator retopologises before commercial cast. Wall thickness, manifoldness and symmetry are correct out of the box. Any professional atelier still runs a retopology pass in Rhino / MatrixGold to optimise for their specific casting pipeline — but the mesh is directly usable for 3D-printed wax samples and client-approval prototypes.

How is this different from photogrammetry or NeRF?

Photogrammetry needs 30-100 photos from every angle (2-4 hours of shooting) and outputs a photo-textured mesh that doesn't cast well. NeRF is a point cloud, not a manifold mesh. Facetra reads ONE image and outputs a manifold, wall-thickness-aware mesh you can send straight to Rhino, MatrixGold or a 3D printer.

Which format should I pick for my CAD workflow?

STL for Rhino / MatrixGold retopology and lost-wax casting. GLB for browser preview and WebGL sharing. FBX for JewelCAD or animation. USDZ for iOS AR preview. 3MF for DMLS 3D printing (preserves colour + material metadata). OBJ for ZBrush or Blender sculpting.

Can I feed a Facetra render into this?

Yes — and it actually gives cleaner mesh output than a phone photo because the render is already silhouette-locked and free of shot noise. The full CAD kit (render → multi-view → 3D mesh) chains automatically from any Facetra Studio output.

What about complex assemblies like a Rani Haar with 30 chatons?

Pair 2D-to-3D-CAD with Auto-Split component detection. Run Auto-Split first to decompose the piece into individual parts, then generate 3D per component. You get 30 individually addressable STLs instead of one monolithic mesh — much better for a karigar's build workflow and for costing.

Do I still need Rhino / MatrixGold / JewelCAD?

Yes. Facetra sits upstream of Rhino / MatrixGold / JewelCAD — it produces the CAD-quality mesh your operator retopologises into a manufacturable casting file. Think of Facetra as the sketch/photo-to-CAD-input pipeline, not a CAD software replacement.
