AI Render from CAD Image for Jewellery
Upload a Rhino, MatrixGold or JewelCAD screenshot — Facetra returns a photoreal, client-ready jewellery render in 40 seconds. Silhouette-locked to your CAD, fluent in Kundan / Jadau / Polki / Diamond / Temple, and now aware of the difference between a raw production CAD and a render-ready one.
Every atelier has the same bottleneck: the CAD is done in Rhino / MatrixGold / JewelCAD, but the client wants a photoreal render before they approve manufacture. The traditional path is either (a) a ₹80,000-1,50,000 KeyShot / V-Ray / SolidWorks Visualize licence plus 2-4 hours of a rendering artist's time per piece, or (b) an outsourced render at ₹1,500-4,000 per piece and a 24-72 hour turnaround.
Facetra Render-from-CAD collapses that to 40 seconds and ~₹12 per variant. Upload one to six CAD screenshots (any viewport — perspective, top, front, ISO), pick your style + metal + optional prompt override, and Facetra returns photoreal renders that stay silhouette-faithful to your CAD. The output goes straight to your client's WhatsApp, or into a Facetra multi-view sheet + BOM + CAD-ready kit if you want to close the loop end-to-end.
What is AI render-from-CAD for jewellery?
AI render-from-CAD is a workflow that converts a screenshot of your jewellery CAD file (from Rhino, MatrixGold, JewelCAD, Matrix, ZBrush, or any 3D viewer) into a photoreal client-ready render. Unlike KeyShot / V-Ray / SolidWorks Visualize (which require you to import the STL, apply materials manually, set up lighting, wait for a 20-40 minute path-traced bake, and cost a licence), an AI render-from-CAD tool works from the 2D screenshot directly, applies style-aware materials from a prompt, and returns the render in under a minute. Facetra is the only such tool built specifically for Indian and modern jewellery vocabulary — it understands Kundan chatons, Polki foil-backing, meenakari reverse, temple nakashi and modern diamond setting geometry.
What Facetra Render-from-CAD delivers
- Silhouette lock — the render matches your CAD outline pixel-faithfully. No proportion drift, no invented details, no deleted features.
- Style-aware prompts — Kundan / Jadau / Polki / Diamond / Temple / Meenakari / Antique / Rajwadi / Bridal / Lightweight / Modern Fusion, each with its own tuned material vocabulary.
- Metal control — 22kt / 18kt yellow, rose or white gold, platinum, palladium, silver (each renders with karat-accurate warmth).
- Rhodium-white prong auto-applied on every diamond seat (regardless of body metal colour) — the industry-standard finish generic AI tools miss.
- Production-CAD vs Render-Ready toggle (Diamond only) — trims tall prong tips and bezel walls to finished-product height when your CAD is a raw casting file. Prong tips finish smooth-polished with a small overlap onto the diamond crown.
- Batch mode — upload up to 6 CADs at once, choose grouping (separate images or sibling variations of one piece).
- Free-form prompt override — add e.g. "heavier meenakari reverse", "emerald centre instead of ruby", "warm golden hour light" to layer on top of the style preset.
- Downstream: the finished render feeds directly into Multi-View Sheet + CAD-Ready + BOM + 3D Mesh — one CAD upload becomes a full client CAD kit.
The Facetra workflow (six steps, one afternoon)
- Take a screenshot from your CAD software (any viewport — Rhino perspective, MatrixGold ISO, JewelCAD top, ZBrush turntable frame).
- Open Facetra Studio → Render from CAD → upload up to 6 CAD images.
- Pick style (Diamond / Kundan / Jadau / Polki / Temple / Meenakari / …) and metal (22kt yellow / 18kt white / platinum / …).
- For a Diamond render, pick CAD file type — Render-Ready (default) or Production (trims tall prongs + bezel walls to finished-product height with smoothed, overlapping tip caps).
- Optional: add a free-form prompt override (e.g. "heavier meenakari reverse").
- Hit Render — 40 seconds later, download the photoreal renders or send them to the Multi-View + BOM + CAD-Ready + 3D Mesh pipeline.
Sample prompts to copy
Paste any of these prompts into Facetra Studio to see the style in action. Adjust weights (heavy / light), stone colours and motifs freely.

Frequently asked questions
What CAD software does Facetra Render-from-CAD work with?
Any CAD viewer that can produce a screenshot — Rhino, MatrixGold, JewelCAD, Matrix (Gemvision), ZBrush, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, KeyShot's viewport, even a screen-recorded frame from a turntable video. Facetra works from the 2D screenshot, not the underlying 3D file, so there is no import / plugin step and no format compatibility risk.
How is this different from KeyShot, V-Ray or SolidWorks Visualize?
KeyShot / V-Ray / SolidWorks Visualize are full path-traced rendering engines — you import the STL, hand-assign materials, position lights, and wait 20-40 minutes for a bake. Each licence costs ₹80,000-1,50,000. Facetra is an AI render that reads your 2D CAD screenshot and returns a photoreal image in 40 seconds at ~₹12 per variant. It won't replace KeyShot for a museum catalogue where physical accuracy of every reflection matters, but it eclipses KeyShot for the 95% use case: a client-approval render for a WhatsApp thread the same afternoon.
What if my CAD is a raw production file with tall prong tips?
For Diamond style, pick the CAD file type as Production CAD before rendering. Facetra's prompt engine will trim the extra-tall prong tips to finished-product height, cap them with a small mirror-polished overhang onto the diamond crown, and reduce over-tall bezel walls to sit at the girdle — exactly what the goldsmith does at the finishing bench in real life. For non-Diamond styles (Kundan / Jadau / etc.), the toggle is hidden because those settings don't use prongs.
Will the render change the silhouette of my CAD?
No. The prompt engine enforces a STRICT GEOMETRY LOCK — silhouette, shank, halo, gallery, side stones, prong count, prong position, prong thickness all stay pixel-faithful to your CAD outline. Only the material appearance (metal warmth, stone brilliance, backdrop, lighting) and the finishing pass (production-CAD trim, if selected) change.
How much does a Render-from-CAD render cost?
1 credit per output image (~₹12 at the Atelier pack rate of ₹15,600 for 1,300 credits, or ₹15/credit on the Starter pack). Batch of 6 CADs with 3 variants each = 18 credits ≈ ₹216. New signups get 10 free credits which is enough for a full CAD test drive.
Can I chain the render into a full CAD kit for my client?
Yes. After the render finishes, hit Multi-View Sheet (4 credits) for silhouette-locked 0°/45°/90°/180° views, then CAD-Ready (1 credit) for a bare-metal casting reference, then BOM (1 credit) for a live-rate cost sheet, then 3D Mesh (15 Standard / 25 HD) if you want GLB / STL / OBJ / FBX / USDZ for retopology in Rhino or MatrixGold. Full CAD kit: ~22 credits Standard (~₹264) or ~32 credits HD (~₹384).
Does it handle multi-CAD sets like a bridal necklace + earring + tikka?
Yes. Upload up to 6 CADs in one submission. Pick grouping = "separate" for independent renders (each CAD gets its own variants) or "siblings" for coordinated visual treatment across the set (matched lighting, backdrop and metal-colour balance).
10 free credits. No card required.
Enough to render 15 variations, or one full CAD kit — see the output before committing to a pack.
