Hi Fellow Jewellery Designers and Colleagues.
My name is Allan Stratton
I read an article from Jeweller magazine that Matrix is releasing a new version of their software in Australia at the trade fair in Sydney. This is the first and probably the last in two years.
One thing I am certain of is that it will be a patch on JEWELRY CAD DREAM and will not have history.
HISTORY in JEWELRY CAD DREAM is like DNA. It is what makes up the structure of your pattern. It is like a dictionary. You can go back to any part of your pattern and make changes. Then you can save that file and keep it as another pattern from the original which also can be changed. IT IS NOT JUST AN STL FILE which cannot be changed for printing.
JEWELRY CAD DREAM has a function In making changes where you can now FREEZE FRAME when making changes. This means you can change only the parts of the file you want changed.
JEWELRY CAD DREAM also in the latest upgrade a two click rendering function. Two minute rendering. Once you make the pattern file and want to show your customer you only have to do two clicks and the item is rendered.
I wish all the people who have other Jewellery Cad Programs all the best for the future and hope that they come up with a new platform other than Rhino which is not a very powerful platform, to help you compete which JEWELRY CAD DREAM users who have a huge advantage in this cut throat market.
INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS TO LEAD AUSSIE CAD MASTERCLASS
US-based Matt Bennett and Adam Bewley will be presenting a masterclass for Gemvision’s Matrix 3D software in Sydney from Friday 29 August to Saturday 30 August. Both are developers for the CAD program, which was designed specifically for jewellery manufacturing.
The two-day course – hosted by local Gemvision supplier Evolution Jewellers – will demonstrate advanced Matrix techniques to more than 50 Australian and New Zealand users of the technology.
Evolution Jewellers director Anthony Nowlan explained that attendees would be introduced to the new tools and techniques available in the upcoming Matrix V8, as well as more generalised practices aimed to improve the skills of designers at all levels.
“The course will feature valuable gem layout tools, rendering tricks, animation builders, T-Splines, and much more,” he added.
In addition to learning how to maximise the Matrix software, Nowlan said masterclass attendees would also benefit from the opportunity to meet other industry members: “We have Matrix users from all over Australia, New Zealand and as far away as Indonesia attending the event.
“The beauty of an event such as this is that not only do you get to expand your knowledge, but you also get to network with other like-minded jewellers.”
A similar course was conducted in 2011 to coincide with the JAA International Jewellery Fair in Sydney, which also featured two Gemvision developers, Kent West and Travis Serio. According to Nowlan, it was a “resounding success”.
“I’m confident that all who participated in the course left as better designers for having attended,” he said. “Many new tricks, tips and tools were featured, along with a ‘work in progress’ disc for the next version of Matrix. Our Australian and New Zealand clients [customers] who attended the class were amongst the first in the world to utilise the power of Matrix V7.”
Progression of CAD
Commenting on the acceptance among jewellers of CAD software, Nowlan said, “In 2011, we had roughly 195 clients who were utilising Matrix. To date we currently have 326 clients throughout Australia and New Zealand who are utilising Matrix.”
He explained when it was first introduced, many jewellers considered CAD to be a “bit of a fad – an interesting novelty that might appeal to only the ‘techno-geeks’”.

Nowlan believed that it was a combination of rising precious metal prices and increased demand for more unique jewellery that drove jewellers to finally embrace the technology.
“In my opinion, CAD software has not only given rise to an increase of creativity amongst Australian and New Zealand jewellers but has also helped jewellers become more efficient with their time and precious metal wastage, as well as creating virtual inventories with photo realistic renders.”
Nowlan said there was still time to register for the masterclass, which will be held at the Australian Technology Park in Eveleigh, Sydney.
JEWELRY CAD DREAM IS LIGHT YEARS AHEAD AND YOU CAN TRY IT FOR YOURSELF.
RENT IT, TRY IT, BUY IT
You can rent the program for one month US$275.00

If you use other Jewellery Cad programs I recommend that you hire the program for a month to evaluate the difference between what you use and JEWELRY CAD DREAM. In evaluating the program remember that the controls and how you think are totally different from other Cad programs. I recommend that you take the webinars and tutorials and do each one, one at a time as I have noticed that some of the so called experts of the other programs think they know better than us and get frustrated when they try to use JEWELRY CAD DREAM like their previous program. You need to learn JEWELRY CAD DREAM properly. If you have a problem them ask for help.
Or a six month rental contract for US$199.00 per month. Maximum is 6 months for an evaluation period.
These special promotions include Class webinars and tutorials.

If you are new to Cad Design I recommend that if you are new to Cad then your best result will be to rent the program on a 6 month basis. That is because the tutorials are part of the contract and in that time you will be creating file patterns. It will also let you see if Cad is what you want for your business before out laying a big amount.
The total price for Jewelry Cad Dream software is US$4995.00
Webinar lessons and tutorials are $125.00 per month
with special promotion code NZ1001
If you learn JEWELRY CAD DREAM software and look for a brighter future than what you currently have from the other jewellery cad programs then you can make this exciting commitment. You will never want to go back to the other programs. You will see the advantages of changing or being able to make Bespoke Jewellery. Once you have made this commitment then the Jewellery world is your oyster. Nothing will be impossible.
Prices can change without notice
No other Cad program has the flexibility of Jewelry Cad Dream.
Strengths and unique selling points?
The software offers hybrid modelling, parametrics, and a constraint/relation system to lock down parts, dimensions, etc. It allows for history-based or non-history based design work with direct editing.
Users can also work on the surfaces of solids with Booleans, and have the added benefit of seamless dress-up features that save time. A history playback recorder with editing is also available. A new addition in 2014 has been the functionality to freeze history and speed up design changes.
What is the typical turnaround time for creations?
Turnaround time varies from less than a minute to hours depending on the design.
What can affect this timing?
The complexity of the design. Basics designs can take seconds, whereas very ornate designs will take more time.
What formats does your software accept? All necessary formats for the jewellery industry along with engineering if needed.
What assistance is there for designers to take their ideas from concept to creation?
Weekly webinars, online tutorials, email support, private training, and private group training are all available to show users how to create and properly make fine jewellery.
