Jewelry CAD Dream is Windows software for creating jewelry designs and preparing them for manufacture. It combines organic, surface, and solid modeling with a full modeling history. Jewelry-specific tools cover pavé, gemstone placement, bezels, wire settings, prongs, and cutters, while parametric modeling and ring-sizing tools are also listed. Finished designs can be exported as STL files for 3D printers and milling machines. The maker identifies ZW3D as the software engine and offers Bullet Proof Booleans separately. It describes live rendering and animation through partner software, but the v15 permanent license listing says the rendering engine is not included; a separate add-on is listed. There is no free plan or try-before-you-buy option. The v15 permanent license is 4850.00 USD per once, and a one-month JCDv15 Test Drive is listed at 145.00 USD per month. The maker lists Windows 10/11 as the requirement and says the software can work offline after activation. Tutorials range from Essential to Advanced, with free support for software issues and limited email help for design questions.
