I need a file for the caster
Only some AI tools even claim a 3D file. A watertight mesh (STL) is not the same as editable NURBS (STEP or 3DM) that a MatrixGold or Rhino operator can still repair. Labels below are taken from each vendor’s public pages. This directory has not independently printed or cast these outputs. Check walls, seats and stone counts before anything is waxed.
| Tool | Claimed exports | Bench-ready label | Note | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tashvi | STL (Draft); STEP, STL and GLB from Parametric Studio. 3DM is listed for import, not as a Parametric Studio export, on the pages checked. | Vendor claims STEP or 3DM | The vendor says Parametric Studio checks for a closed solid, walls under 0.30 mm, and seated stones, and warns that the beta can misread a photo or drop stones. This has not been independently printed or cast for this directory. | 11 November 2026 |
| FormaNova | Vendor claims .3dm (native Rhino / MatrixGold), STEP, STL per part, and GLB. | Vendor claims STEP or 3DM | NURBS .3dm would be the right kind of file for a Rhino bench if the geometry holds up. That quality has not been independently verified here. | 11 November 2026 |
| NimoraAI | STL and STEP, per the feature page. | Vendor claims STEP or 3DM | A vendor “casting-ready” badge is not the same as a file your caster has accepted. Unverified here. | 11 November 2026 |
| Ruby Kinglet | Vendor describes STL, 3DM, OBJ and GLB. | Vendor claims STEP or 3DM | 3DM via a Rhino-backed engine is a serious claim. Not independently verified here. | 11 November 2026 |
| Diatech Make | STL, STEP, 3DM, OBJ, GLB and 3MF, per the product materials checked. | Vendor claims STEP or 3DM | Closest in spirit to traditional jewellery CAD with an assistant on top. File quality is unverified here. | 11 November 2026 |
| BijouVision | GLB and STL are listed for the photo-to-3D path. | Mesh only | STL/GLB are meshes. The school’s own comparison says no tool turns a prompt into a production file you should send un-checked to a caster. | 11 November 2026 |
| Meshy | STL, OBJ and 3MF are listed on the jewellery use-case page. | Mesh only | Useful for a volumetric study. Settings, seats and wall thickness still have to be rebuilt or corrected in CAD. | 11 November 2026 |
| Tripo AI | GLB, FBX, OBJ, STL, 3MF and USDZ, with plan limits. | Mesh only | Not jewellery-aware. Expect to correct gem and setting geometry before print. | 11 November 2026 |
| MatrixGold AI Connect | Works on the live document, so you keep MatrixGold’s usual exports (STL, 3DM, OBJ). | Vendor claims STEP or 3DM | This sits on real MatrixGold geometry. Whether a given prompt produces a castable result still depends on the operator and the model. Feature status is experimental, per Gemvision. | 11 November 2026 |
| RhinoArtisan Assistant and Ettore | Operates inside RhinoArtisan / Rhino, so output is the host document. Specific AI-only export formats were not separately listed. | Vendor claims STEP or 3DM | Lives in a real jewellery CAD host. Vendor-described capabilities; not independently audited here. | 11 November 2026 |
