When a design moves from a sketch to the manufacturing floor, it must be translated into a precise 3D model. Enter MatrixGold—the global standard for jewelry Computer-Aided Design (CAD).
What Makes MatrixGold Different?
Unlike generic 3D software (like Blender or Maya), MatrixGold is engineered specifically for jewelry. It features dynamic parametric history, meaning if a client requests a ring size change, the stones, prongs, and shanks adjust automatically without requiring a complete rebuild.
Is CAD Replacing Sketching?
Not at all. CAD is a manufacturing tool; sketching is an ideation tool. The best professionals use both. They sketch to conceptualize and pitch, then they build in MatrixGold to prepare for 3D printing and casting.
Our 4-month MatrixGold certification program takes you from navigating the interface to executing complex parametric eternity bands and intricate multi-stone pendants.
