What is the best jewelry CAD software in terms of ease of learning and creating good designs to manufacture?
Written by Jewelry on November 14, 2009I am new to jewelry design. And would like to design jewelry with a CAD software which is easy to learn, allows you to draw and modify 3 D designs easily such that a jeweler can manufacture them. Can I learn the tool myself or do I need to take a class? If a class, where can I take it?

It depends on how complex your designs will be and your budget. A typical full-feature 3D software will range from 3500.00-4500.00 dollars. There are of course many other options that are even free (blender.org), but from experience they aren’t always the most user friendly.
I would definitely recommend taking professional classes online or at an authorized training center.

There is a software called Matrix 6 by Gemvision that has many great features and support.
