A Jewelry Modeler for Carved Bangles

A parametric voxel-based jewelry modeler is developed for designing carved bangles of sophisticated craftsmanship. Carved jewelry is the form of jewelry having small internal repeated cavities as engraved with a thin sharp tool on the surface of sheet metal. The parametersʹ values are defined by the user and modeling of the jewelry design is carried out by the modeler based on the specified values of the parameters. The modeler combines multiple copies of a parametric voxel element to deliver more number of jewelry designs. Voxel is a building block of a design model and defined by parameterized geometry and attributes. A voxel library is created from which voxel elements are selected. The jewelry modeler supports diverse integrated manufacturing through computer controlled manufacturing.
