I am real pleased with the 2 tone. Milled both sides and welded together fresh out of the casting machine. Set 8 .05 ct diamonds.

Needed a 4 stone stick pendant to hold a .71 ct.; .48ct.; .31ct. and a .20ct. There are not any mountings available for this. Milled as one piece and cast in white gold. Easy design, quick mill, easy to set; and very happy customer. I will post 3DE file on ftp site.

Here's the piece we talked about it's about 45mm long and was cast as 1 piece. It took me about 2.5 hours to design but all of the scrolls are orginals. So in that regard there is some time in that process. But if you do much wax carving think about carving all of that scroll then after it is cast having to weld in all the heads and then finishing. When the piece came out of the oven I magnetic tumbled it, the used some fine brushes and pumice wheels to clean up. Set the stones and I was done. Got $450.00 for the job. The machine will do alot of work for you, but you still have to think about how to make what you are doing work, plus you need some wax carving skills. But with alittle practice and playing around the software you will be amazed at what this machine can do......and it didn't cost 20 grand.

If you have any questions please contact me,

Sincerely,
Michael Parsons

Example of MDX making parts that you would have a hard time finding or assembling. The 3 center heads were created in 3de and milled then I carveved the bypass to go around the heads. The heads were cast in WG. A 3de file for this configuration will be posted in the ftp site

Needed a head configuation for this ring. The stones were 4.7mm and 4.4mm. Needed them to be level and have the same look. Could not buy the parts so It was milled and the wax carved around them. Cast in white gold and welded in.

14k Yellow Gold Heart. Made from customers 14k scrap and diamonds. 16.5mm x 16.5mm top size. the center plate was milled with hole placement already figured; cast in WG. Made a bold frame border and carved a base that matched the bold frame, cast in YG welded two parts together and pave' set 38 FC dias. Approx. .02 ct each. Heart symbol was in the sample symbol file of 3dengrave. Price for labor $400.00

Needed 3 stone bezel earrings so I created this milling.

You can find the 3dengrave file for this design on the ftp site

Jeff here is a bezel ring that I did using your ring tube method. The WG in the picture is actual WG pieces I installed in the piece. Made from customers stuff. Pretty cool.

14k yellow gold pave' earrings. Milled using a bits and bits 815-PY6 pyramid cutter. Theats a .005 tip and 6 degree includes angle. There are 100 diamonds that total 4.15 cts. They have a total gold weight of 15 grams. I charged $850 labor and $700 per carat for the diamonds. 3de file is in ftp site.

My customer wanted to convert her wedding set into a pendant but did not want to spend a fortune. I cut her guard apart milled the center channel and the half bezel for her pear and made a base for the guard halves cast as 2 pieces then welded the guard pieces in and set the stones. easy quick and very clean. Charged $400.00 labor.

And again I am glad to be using your machine it helped me make these pieces and I was very happy with how they turned out. talk to you soon
