Hello all! This post foes out to anyone with CAD software that is willing to help me out. I would like to have a gemstone designed in a CAD program so that I can 3D print the stone. The stone's final design would need tweeking, as the stone should be slightly asymmetric.
The stone is rather large and measures about 40 x 40 x 24 mm. We can get more specific on the stone's measurements themselves provided that someone is on board to help. Below is the diagram of a common round gemstone:
My stone's shape is similar to that of a heart.
I thought that I could have the stone printed in two separate pieces. One piece being the crown, and the other being the girdle and pavilion. Any thoughts? Would anyone be willing to try?
I have what is kind of a 3D example already, but I cannot use it due to the program that it is being run in. The rendering is being ran through a software called Gemcad, which allows users to create a facet chart for a gemstone, along with a 3D rendering of the stone. Users are unable to export this 3D rendering, so that is not an option.
If anyone chooses to help me, then I would be more than happy to share the Gemcad file with you.
Thank you!
