JEWELRY CAD MODELING — ISTANBUL

Drawing the model is not enough.
It has to come off the machine.

27 YEARS
SINCE 1998

I model in Rhino and MatrixGold, then print the wax myself on WaxJet and ProJet 3500. I learned where a file breaks at the printer, not on screen.

Every piece below is my own model — real three-dimensional files, not renders. Turn them to any angle and move in close: the setting, the stone seat, the shoulder work.

My job does not end at the file

Most modelers hand over the file and the rest is your problem. I close the chain through printing — because I run the wax printer too.

  1. 01

    Idea, sketch or sample

    A photo, a hand drawing or the piece in your hand — whichever you have, we start there.

  2. 02

    Model — Rhino, MatrixGold, 3Design

    Wall thickness, stone seats and prong allowance to production tolerance. Simple model in 30–60 minutes, complex model in 2–3 hours.

  3. 03

    Printing — WaxJet, ProJet 3500

    I print on my own machine. I can see where a file will jam while I am still modeling it, so there is no second attempt.

  4. 04

    Ready for casting

    3DM, STL and render. A photo of the printed piece comes with the file.

ABOUT

Emre Aydoğdu

Graduate of Mersin University, Applied Jewelry Technology. I started as an apprentice at Handan Keltek, spent four years at Orion Jewellery Diamond, then Altınışık Jewellery, Arman Güllükoğlu Atelier and Kamil Kuyumculuk.

I work across every category: rings, earrings, bracelets, bangles, pendants and matching sets. What I make is a manufacturable technical model — not organic sculpting, but a piece that can be cast and set.
