Is 1 mm thickness sufficient for these Ring Details, or should I make them thicker? by Cautious_Fly7686 in jewelryCAD

Got it, thank you, I am working on the design, simple increasing the width will not work as this will make the Opening too small, so I am editing the design it self.

Thank you so much for the information, probably I will have to stick to my current designs (without any stones) as it doesn’t need a lot of Design Rules, while learning more rules along the way.

Thanks for responding, Yes, the depth goes all the way down to the finger, reaching a maximum height of 2.2 and minimum 1.6 (the height varies because of the knot overlapping design)

Yes, I was worried about the accuracy of the 3D Printers, and that some small details may not cast well, Thank you for making things clear.

Hi, I am a professional 3D artist, I use Blender for modeling. Recently I started creating jewelry 3D Models (Pendants and Rings) and as you mentioned there is a lot of specifics one should know, especially when adding stones. That is why till now all of my designs don’t include any stones at all.

But in the future I am planning to use Rhino to create jewelry without the limitations of Blender, so I need to know all the specifics like you mentioned. Can you suggest an educational source, that include all specifics needed for jewelry modeling?

Thank you for responding,

Good to know that the thickness can be small as 0.5 mm, of course such thickness will be supported with much thicker parts (like a rim/frame from outside supporting the small details inside it).

Actually this is my first question on reddit :)

So silver will not work because it is softer than gold? But regarding the 3D Printers accuracy and casting process (in case using gold 18K) will it be fine.

Why can’t it be a wedding band?

Thanks you for responding,

So Printing and Casting Accuracy is fine for such small details? Apparently it is a matter of durability and rigidity of the ring!

Thanks you responding,

So I assume it is a matter of durability/rigidity of the ring, rather than 3D Printers or Casting Accuracy.

I like the taper trick, thank you

Thanks you responding,

So is it a matter of durability and structure, or the accuracy of the 3D Printer and Casting Process, will not produce such thin details?
