Abstract

The author reflects on a Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which featured exhibitions that included computer-aided design (CAD) and rapid prototyping (RP) jewelry. He says that several jewelers were still having difficulty learning to use CAD software since 1999, but in 2009, more jewelers were getting the hang of using the CAD software, including Rhino. He cites that RP had a bad reputation because some people think that all RP materials look similar.
