The growing trend and popularity for 3D design jewelry has given new wings to the art of jewelry design. The levels of beauty and complexity that 3d printing technology has brought in the jewelry design industry is quite unredicted. Nonetheless, in order to achieve the designs that client needs, the designers need to make sure they are aware of all the dos and don'ts for creation of CAD models. Here are a few mistakes that every jewelry designer must avoid. Only if you are wise enough to consider all these, can you provide the best cad for jewelry design

Release holes for hollow models

Release holes play an important role in the hollow models. Most of the custom jewelry in New York has designs that lead to hollow models. And as a designer designs these models, he should keep a check on the release holes. There should be at least three release holes in a hollow model. Of course the size of the release hole would depend on the size of the model but in any case it should not be smaller than 1.5mm. Any release hole smaller than this is of no use.

Saving STL file in low resolution

Never save STL files in a low resolution. It is seen that many known jewelry designers save the STL file in extremely low resolution as they find it easy to transfer via the Internet. Well the reason must be genuine but by doing this, the final print of the file can be pixelated. With the low resolution, triangles in the STL file will be big and that is what will give rise to a pixelated print. The surface of the print will not be smooth. Moreover, an increase in triangulation would make the surface rough. And this roughness will lead to significant loss in the precious metal during the cleaning process.

Support

Next important aspect that needs to be considered for providing the best 3D jewelry design services in NYC is the support. As you design a ring, there has to be support present for the top part of the ring. In absence of support the top part of the ring will appear to be floating in the air. You can include a wiring that holds the base and the top of the ring together. This will provide the top a better support and make it more durable.

Booleaning parts together

Binding all the parts of the jewelry together is something that needs no explanation. This is a central functionality of CAD. Booleaning of parts together makes it watertight or free of leaks. Part should not be separate also because printing happens only when there is one single piece of jewelry. If a jewelry model is made out of separate parts it will affect the printing process. All those designers who are known to provide best 3D jewelry design services in NYC do not permit models that are not boolean.

Sharp angles

Try to avoid sharp angles when designing jewelry. In case the client demands sharp edges and angles, try filling them with fillets for softening. Only if the angles are soft, can they be printed properly.
