Revolutionizing Jewelry Design: How Cooksongold Leverages Artec Micro for Rapid, High-Precision 3D Modeling
In the world of jewelry design, precision and efficiency are paramount. Cooksongold, a leading UK-based supplier of precious metals and components, has embraced cutting-edge technology to enhance its design and manufacturing processes. By integrating the Artec Micro 3D scanner into their workflow, Cooksongold has significantly reduced the time required to create detailed 3D models of intricate jewelry pieces.
The Challenge: Capturing Fine Details of Reflective Jewelry
Jewelry items, often crafted from reflective metals and adorned with gemstones, present unique challenges for 3D scanning. Traditional methods can struggle to capture the fine details and intricate features of such pieces. Recognizing this, Cooksongold sought a solution that could accurately digitize these complex designs
The Solution: Artec Micro 3D Scanner
The Artec Micro, known for its high-resolution capabilities and precision, proved to be the ideal tool for the job. With its 5-micron accuracy, the Artec Micro captures even the most delicate features of jewelry pieces, including engravings and intricate textures. This level of detail is crucial for creating accurate 3D models suitable for redesign, preservation, or reproduction.
Streamlining the Workflow
Cooksongold's integration of the Artec Micro into their workflow has streamlined the process of creating 3D models. Previously, manually modeling intricate jewelry designs could be time-consuming and labor-intensive. With the Artec Micro, this process has been expedited, allowing for rapid digitization of pieces in just 1-2 hours—half the time it would take to model them from scratch. This efficiency not only accelerates the design process but also enhances the ability to iterate and refine designs quickly.
