    If you want a CAD program for jewelry that is easier to use than Matrix, this is it. It has allowed me to have a custom jewelry business. I use it to design all of my custom jewelry jobs. If it can be cast, 3Design Jewelry CAD Software will work for you.

    SMBs who do want to minimse their involvement with expensinve, inconvenient and bloated Autodesk products will find lots to love. The only hinderence is the market share of Autodesk means some 3rd party developers will not support it unfortunately, but it has it's own solutions to many things users of the AutoCAD ecosystem currenrtly rely on.

    Cons
    Gravotech - TYPE3 Software
    • The renderings are terrible.
    • The program bogs down if you are doing something with more than 100 stones.
    • In my opinion, the support is next to nothing unless you pay for it.
    • In my experience, they always hassle you to upgrade.

    • there is not full compatibility with dynamic blocks but it isn't so bad -we can create them in AutoCAD and use them to some extent anyway
    • it doesn't look as "sexy" and the interface looks kinda orimitive in some screens but the functionality is all there and the some
    • there is the hurdle of users thinking they are getting a lesser product so more marketing pozazz is needed to get the message over it is a very capable product

    it's exteremly useable. AutoCAD users will carry over many eisting skills and learn some new ones on the cross over. It's fast adn lightweight meaning ot can be run on just about any PC. The help and support are realy good and problems are usually responded to within a day by experts.

    In my opinion, if you pay for the support, it is great. Otherwise, I feel like they always say the problem is user error and try to get you to purchase the support.

    3Design Jewelry CAD Software had a class on how to use the program that was close to me. Matrix did not have any classes at all at the time. Matrix is also much more difficult to learn than 3Design Jewelry CAD Software. 3Design Jewelry CAD Software is a little less expensive than Matrix, but more expensive than all of the other programs that aren't as good.

    Very cost-effective solution, it even supports pointclouds natively and is something we will investigate further as time goes on and may in fact utilise it to replace AutoCAD with 3rd party add-ins at some point in the future, and we hope it can further reduce costs in the long-run as it continues to develop and mature.
