Hours to printable, not weeks
A customer’s sketch becomes a printable model the same day — quote faster, cast sooner, take on orders you used to decline.
CAD StudioLive
From sketch to 3D-printable CAD, in one flow
CAD Studio turns a jewellery sketch or photo into a 3D model you can actually manufacture — inspect it in the in-browser 3D viewer, then download STL for printing and STEP for downstream CAD work. Models that pass manufacturability checks carry a casting-ready badge.

The problem
CAD is the toll-gate of jewellery manufacturing: every custom order and new design queues behind a specialist CAD designer, at days of turnaround and real cost per iteration. For lakhs of small manufacturers and custom studios, CAD capacity — not demand — caps how many designs they can take on.
How Nimora solves it
Upload the sketch (or a photo of an existing piece), and Nimora’s one-shot flow analyses it, builds the 3D geometry, and renders it in the browser where you can orbit, zoom and inspect. Standard CAD generation costs 20 credits with refinements at 18; complex organic pieces route to a premium neural path at 150 credits. Export STL/STEP when it is right.
Why jewellery businesses choose this
Real manufacturing outputs
STL for resin/wax printing and STEP for editing in MatrixGold, Rhino or SolidWorks — files your existing casting workflow already accepts.
Casting-ready confidence
Automated checks flag geometry that will survive investment casting; passing models carry a casting-ready badge so you know before you print.
Inspect before you spend
The in-browser 3D viewer shows the model from every angle before you commit to a download or a print run — no CAD software needed to review.
How it works
Upload sketch or photo
Hand sketches, design images, or photos of reference pieces.
AI builds the model
The one-shot flow analyses the design and generates 3D geometry (20 credits; complex pieces 150).
Inspect in 3D
Orbit and zoom in the browser; check the casting-ready badge; refine for 18 credits if needed.
Download STL / STEP
Print the STL, or take the STEP into your CAD suite for final production tweaks.
Where it fits
Custom-order manufacturing
Convert approved customer designs straight into printable models.
Legacy piece revival
Photograph an old family design and rebuild it as modern CAD.
CAD-designer acceleration
Professionals start from an AI base model and spend their time on refinement, not blocking.
Frequently asked questions
What file formats does CAD Studio export?
STL (for 3D printing in castable resin or wax) and STEP (for editing in professional CAD tools like Rhino or MatrixGold). Both come from the same generated model.
What does "casting-ready" mean?
The model passed automated manufacturability checks — watertight geometry and structure that survives investment casting. It is a strong signal, though your caster’s judgement on thickness for the chosen metal still applies.
How much does CAD generation cost?
Standard generation is 20 credits and each refinement 18. Complex organic designs are routed to a premium neural path at 150 credits — still a fraction of outsourced CAD turnaround.
Can I generate CAD from a photo of finished jewellery?
Yes — image-to-CAD works from photos of existing pieces, which is how studios rebuild legacy and reference designs. Sharp, front-on photos give the best geometry.
Do I need CAD software installed?
No. Generation and 3D inspection run entirely in the browser. You only need CAD software if you choose to edit the exported STEP file afterwards.
