Why are top-tier manufacturers switching to MatrixGold? Here are the killer features: gemvision matrix gold
Traditional NURBS modeling is mathematically precise but rigid. MatrixGold introduces Sub-D (Subdivision) Modeling. This allows designers to sculpt organic shapes like wax carving—pushing and pulling surfaces as if they were clay—while retaining the mathematical precision required for 3D printing. In GEM Manager:
Gemvision MatrixGold is widely considered the industry standard for jewelry-specific CAD design. It is not a general-purpose engineering tool adapted for jewelry; it was built from the ground up to make rings, pendants, and settings. If you are a professional jeweler looking to create manufacturing-ready CAD models with speed and precision, this is likely the software you want. However, it comes with a steep learning curve and a high price tag. Shrinkage compensation : Scale X,Y,Z by 1
MatrixGold is the successor to Gemvision’s two previous software titles: Matrix (a robust but heavy software built on Rhino 3D) and RhinoGold (a lighter, more accessible version).
MatrixGold combines the best of both worlds: it runs on the latest Rhino 3D engine (specifically Rhino 7), providing a stable and powerful foundation, but adds a proprietary layer of "Jewelry Tools" on top that automates complex tasks.
MatrixGold includes a live link to KeyShot (formerly Bunkspeed).
