Gold | Gemvision Matrix

Gemvision MatrixGold is a professional 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software built specifically for the jewelry industry. It functions as a powerful plugin for Rhinoceros, combining Rhino’s precision with specialized, jewelry-centric parametric tools that allow designers to create production-ready jewelry faster and with greater flexibility. Key Features and Capabilities

MatrixGold is designed to streamline the entire jewelry design process, from initial concept to high-quality rendering and final manufacturing.

Parametric History: This is the software's core strength. It tracks every design step dynamically, allowing you to go back and modify any stage—such as changing a finger size or gemstone diameter—without having to rebuild the entire model from scratch.

Specialized Jewelry Tools: The software includes a library of dedicated commands for complex tasks, including:

Gem Placer & Builders: Automate the placement and layout of stones, including sophisticated pave settings. gemvision matrix gold

Shank & Profile Builders: Rapidly create and adjust ring shanks and decorative profiles.

Smart Prong: Automatically adds prongs to gemstones with adjustable parameters for diameter, angle, and tilt.

Organic Modeling with Clayoo: Integrated sculpting tools allow for the creation of intricate, freeform shapes like flowers, animals, and realistic textures.

Advanced Rendering: Uses high-performance engines like Cycles to produce photorealistic images and animations that help clients visualize their finished pieces. Pavé Palette : Automatically distribute stones on a

Manufacturing Integration: Directly exports files for 3D printing and casting, and can generate accurate gem maps and material weight reports. Membership and Training
