3D Modelling
Introduction to 3D modelling
La 3D modelling is an essential skill in modern jewellery design. This revolutionary technology enables jewellers to create complex pieces with unrivalled precision and detail.
3D modelling has transformed the manufacturing process, making it possible to produce innovative designs that were once unimaginable.
At SMV Thailand, we use this advanced technique to bring unique jewellery to life, combining traditional craftsmanship with technological innovation.
The stages of 3D modelling at SMV
We will work with you to define the key stages and deadlines to ensure the success of the development process.
1. Initial design
The first stage of 3D modelling begins with an initial concept. Designers create sketches or technical drawings of the envisaged piece of jewellery, taking into account dimensions, shapes and specific details. This phase enables the basic idea to be clearly defined before moving on to digital modelling.
2. Creating the 3D model
Once the initial design has been approved, the designers use 3D modelling software to create a digital model of the jewel. This stage involves the precise construction of each element of the jewel in three dimensions. Software such as Rhino, Matrix or ZBrush are commonly used for this task.
3. Checks and adjustments
Once the 3D model has been created, it is carefully checked to ensure that it meets all the technical and aesthetic specifications. The designers make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the model is perfect before moving on to the next phase.
4. Final manufacture
Finally, the 3D model and the validated prototype are used to produce the final piece of jewellery. The information from the 3D model is transferred to the manufacturing machines or craftsmen, who use this data to create the precious metal piece. The precision of 3D modelling ensures that the jewellery is manufactured exactly to the designer's initial vision.
3 advantages of choosing 3D modelling
Our team specialises in large-scale production of your jewellery.
Precision
3D modelling enables jewellery to be created with exceptional precision, guaranteeing fine detail and perfect fits.
Flexibility
It offers great design flexibility, making it easy to modify and adjust models before production.

The speed of prototyping and manufacturing considerably reduces the time needed to go from design to final production.
Our customers' questions about 3D modelling
We will work with you to define the key stages and deadlines to ensure the success of the development process.
What is 3D modelling in jewellery?
3D modelling in jewellery is the use of software to create three-dimensional digital models of jewellery before it is manufactured.
What software is used for 3D modelling?
Commonly used software includes Rhino, Matrix, ZBrush and Blender.
What are the advantages of 3D modelling for jewellers?
Key benefits include precision, design flexibility and rapid prototyping.
Is 3D modelling used for all types of jewellery?
Yes, it can be used for a wide variety of jewellery, including rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
Can 3D modelling be used to personalise jewellery?
Absolutely, 3D modelling means that jewellery can be highly personalised according to customers' preferences.
How does rapid prototyping work?
Rapid prototyping uses 3D printing to create physical prototypes from digital models, enabling the jewellery to be tested and visualised before final manufacture.
How does rapid prototyping work?
