What is CAD?

Also known as: Computer-Aided Design

Definition

In jewellery, CAD refers to using 3D modelling software (Rhino, MatrixGold, JewelCAD, Firestorm) to design a piece as a manifold 3D solid that can be 3D-printed as a wax master and cast via lost-wax casting. Facetra generates the reference material (renders, multi-view sheets, BOM, 3D mesh) that a CAD operator uses to build the final manifold model — we do not replace CAD software.
