Draft Studio - 3D CAD Model Generation

Transform your 2D jewelry designs into professional 3D CAD models ready for manufacturing. Draft Studio uses advanced AI to convert images into detailed 3D meshes with textures, available in multiple export formats.

Overview

Draft Studio bridges the gap between creative design and physical production:

  • Image to 3D conversion using multiple AI providers
  • Multiple quality tiers for different use cases
  • CAD dimension computation with weight estimates
  • Manufacturing-ready exports in standard formats
  • Stoneless mode for metal-only models

Perfect for taking AI-generated designs to real-world production.

Accessing Draft Studio

Navigate to Draft Studio from your dashboard sidebar, or:

From Gallery:

  1. Select any design
  2. Click “Generate 3D Model” or “CAD Analysis”
  3. Configure your generation settings

From Canvas: After refining a design, send it directly to Draft Studio.

How It Works

Step 1: Upload Your Design

Supported inputs:

  • AI-generated jewelry designs
  • Photos of existing pieces
  • Rendered concepts
  • High-quality reference images

Best results with:

  • Clear, well-lit images
  • Clean backgrounds
  • Multiple angles if available
  • High resolution (1024px+)

Step 2: AI Analysis

Before 3D generation, AI analyzes your design using Qwen 2.5 VL 72B to:

  • Identify jewelry type and structure
  • Detect gemstones and settings
  • Understand metal components
  • Plan the 3D reconstruction

Step 3: Choose Generation Mode

Full Design Mode:

  • Generates complete 3D model
  • Includes all gemstones and settings
  • Best for visualization and prototyping

Stoneless/Mounting Mode:

  • Metal structure only
  • Removes gemstones from model
  • Ideal for CAD manufacturing
  • Allows jewelers to set stones manually

Step 4: Select Quality Tier

Standard Quality:

  • 100,000 polygons
  • 4K textures
  • Fast generation
  • Good for previews and concepts

High Quality:

  • 150,000 polygons
  • Mesh refinement applied
  • Better detail preservation
  • Suitable for most manufacturing

Production Quality:

  • 200,000 polygons
  • Maximum detail
  • Manufacturing-ready output
  • Best for final production files

Step 5: Generate and Download

Click generate and receive your 3D model with:

  • Multiple export format options
  • Computed dimensions and weight estimates
  • Downloadable files ready for jewelers

3D Generation Providers

Draft Studio offers multiple AI providers for different needs:

Trellis (Fast)

CAD Dimension Computation

Draft Studio calculates key manufacturing specifications:

Bounding Box Dimensions

  • Width (W): Horizontal measurement
  • Height (H): Vertical measurement
  • Depth (D): Front-to-back measurement

Dimensions provided in millimeters.

Volume and Surface Area

  • Volume: Total 3D space occupied
  • Surface Area: Total exterior surface
  • Used for material calculations

Metal Weight Estimates

Estimated weight based on different alloys:

  • 14K Gold: Yellow, white, or rose
  • 18K Gold: Yellow, white, or rose
  • 22K Gold: Traditional yellow
  • Platinum: 950 grade
  • Sterling Silver: 925 grade

Weight estimates account for typical casting density.

User Dimension Inputs

Provide your specifications for accurate scaling:

Ring Measurements

  • Ring Size: US, UK, or EU sizing
  • Band Width: In millimeters
  • System scales model proportionally

Chain/Necklace Measurements

  • Chain Length: In inches or centimeters
  • Chain Width: In millimeters
  • Accurate for pendant and chain designs

Stone Specifications

  • Center Stone Carat: Expected stone size
  • Model scaled to accommodate specified carat

Export Formats

  • Binary glTF format
  • Compact file size
  • Includes textures embedded
  • Wide software compatibility
  • Best for sharing and web viewing

FBX

  • Autodesk interchange format

  • View in AR on iOS devices
  • Great for client presentations
  • Built-in sharing support

Credit Usage

Credit cost varies by quality tier and provider:

Standard Quality: 15-25 credits

  • Trellis or basic Meshy
  • Good for previews

High Quality: 30-50 credits

  • Meshy v6 with refinement
  • Production-suitable

Production Quality: 50-80 credits

  • Maximum detail and accuracy
  • Final manufacturing files

Tips for Best Results

Image Quality Matters

For accurate 3D conversion:

  • Use high-resolution images (2048px+)
  • Ensure clear, sharp details
  • Avoid blurry or noisy images
  • Good lighting shows structure better

Multiple Angles Help

When available, provide:

  • Front view (primary)
  • Side view (for depth)
  • Top view (for proportions)
  • Angled view (for overall shape)

Clean Backgrounds

Best results with:

  • White or neutral backgrounds
  • No distracting elements
  • Isolated jewelry piece
  • Consistent lighting

Accurate Measurements

Provide real measurements when known:

  • Ring sizes for proper scaling
  • Stone carat weights
  • Band width preferences
  • Chain lengths

Troubleshooting

3D model doesn’t match design

  • Use higher quality source images
  • Try different generation provider
  • Select higher quality tier
  • Ensure clean background in source

Details not captured

  • Increase quality tier to Production
  • Try Meshy v5 Multi-View
  • Upload higher resolution image
  • Provide multiple angles

Weight estimates seem off

  • Verify dimensions are correct
  • Check that metal type is appropriate
  • Consider hollow vs. solid construction
  • Estimates are approximate guides

Export file won’t open

  • Try different export format
  • Check software compatibility
  • GLB format has widest support
  • Update your 3D software
