We are a service bureau
providing wax modeling solutions
to the jewelry industry.
Utilizing a blend of traditional methods and techniques
along with state of the art cad-cam technology
we produce quality master models and molds
for the jewelry industry.
Basically, the process works like this:
Provide us with a design sketch, drawing, or
complete rendering of
the desired piece.
We can work with you on refining the
design to achieve the desired result.
We will then vectorize the design to
prepare it for the Cad-Cam software.
Next, we generate a 3-dimensional virtual replica model
of the design and provide you with multiple views of
the proposed model, rendered with stones if you like.
We can also work from existing cad files such as Artcam,
RhinoCAD, or .STL files from other cad programs.
Once the design and virtual model is
approved,
we will calculate a toolpath
for the piece to be
produced on one of
our precision CNC milling machines.
This process results in a wax model that can be
cast into whatever precious metal you choose.
Finally, the finished piece, complete with gemstones.
-
If requested, we can also provide casting and finishing of wax models in sterling silver with a mold-ready satin finish.
-
At this point rubber molds can be made to reproduce the piece. We offer RTV silicone molds (minimal very low shrinkage)
as well as vulcanized rubber molds.
(with a common shrinkage rate of roughly 4%.)
- For high production or very high detail pieces (lettering and such) we offer metal molds that can be injected with plastic at very
high pressures to maintain razor crisp edges.
