Jewelry Machining Capabilities in BobCAD-CAM
Toolpaths and CAD features designed for the precision and intricacy that jewelry manufacturing demands.
2D & 3D Engraving
BobCAD-CAM supports both 2D and 3D engraving strategies — essential for jewelry lettering, decorative patterns, and fine surface detail. V-carve engraving creates sharp-edged letters and designs in wax, gold, silver, and platinum.
Small Tool Support
Jewelry machining uses very small cutting tools at tight tolerances. BobCAD-CAM’s toolpath engine handles micro-tool diameters and generates smooth, efficient paths that protect small cutters while maintaining the detail your designs require.
3D Design & Surfacing
Design 3D pieces with wireframe, surfaces, and solid modeling tools. Create inlays, profiling, pocketing, and 3D wrapping all in one environment. BobCAD-CAM gives jewelry makers a full design toolkit — no separate CAD system required.
4-Axis Rotation Machining
Machine rings, bangles, and rotationally symmetric jewelry pieces using 4-axis rotary strategies. BobCAD-CAM’s 4-axis toolpaths keep consistent engagement around curved surfaces — ideal for complex ring bands and sculptural forms.
Complex Geometry Finishing
EquiDistant finishing maintains a constant scallop across any surface, regardless of curvature — producing near-polished jewelry surfaces that require minimal hand finishing. Essential for wax masters destined for lost-wax casting.
BobART Add-On for Creative Jewelry Work
By combining BobCAD-CAM with the BobART add-on module, jewelry makers can import pictures, turn them into relief models, and apply them directly to 3D jewelry surfaces — unleashing creative possibilities that go far beyond standard CAM.
What Jewelry Makers Say About BobCAD-CAM
Real feedback from professional jewelry manufacturers and studio designers.
“I use BobCAD primarily to design and machine the pattern work that is then used in the lost wax casting process. Using BobCAD has increased my capability for accurately producing complex 3D parts ten-fold. The BobCAD team and the user community is second to none.”
