Rubber Molds for Jewelry Production: How Masters, Molds, and Wax Injection Scale Your Designs
Rubber molds for jewelry production are how designers turn a single approved piece into many identical copies. Once a design is finalized in CAD and a master model is made, a rubber mold lets a caster inject waxes again and again for repeat casting. Our jewelry services team in Los Angeles helps designers prepare models […]

Fasteners and Threaded Inserts in Product Design: Choosing Screws, Inserts, and Joining Methods
Fasteners and threaded inserts are small details that have a big impact on product design. How parts are joined affects assembly time, serviceability, strength, appearance, and cost. Many products fail in the field not because of the main design, but because a screw stripped a plastic boss or a joint loosened over time. Our product […]
3D Scanning for Furniture and Interior Design: Replicating Ornaments, Moldings, and Custom Pieces
3D scanning for furniture and interior design helps designers, restorers, and makers reproduce ornate details, match existing pieces, and create custom elements that fit a space precisely. Carved chair legs, decorative moldings, hardware, corbels, and sculptural lighting are all difficult to replicate by hand. Our 3D scanning team in Los Angeles digitizes these objects so […]
3D Printing Post-Processing: Sanding, Smoothing, Painting, and Finishing Options Explained
The moment a part comes off the printer is rarely the moment it is finished. 3D printing post-processing — sanding, smoothing, painting, dyeing, and sealing — is the stage that turns a raw print into something you can hand to a client, test against mating parts, or sell as a finished product. After more than […]
Starting a Jewelry Line? How CAD, Wax Printing, and Casting Make Small-Batch Production Work
Starting a jewelry line used to mean choosing between two bad options: hand-fabricate every piece yourself, or commit to a manufacturer’s high minimum order before you knew whether anything would sell. Digital jewelry production has changed that math. With CAD design, high-resolution wax printing, and lost-wax casting, a designer can go from sketches to a […]
Laser-Cut Wedding and Event Signage: Acrylic, Wood, and Finishing Options
Laser-cut wedding and event signage has become one of the most requested custom fabrication jobs in our Glendale shop, and for good reason. A welcome sign with crisp cut lettering, acrylic seating charts, wood table numbers, and layered monogram backdrops give an event a polished, personal look that printed foam board simply can’t match. In […]
3D Printing Jigs, Fixtures, and Manufacturing Aids: Faster, Cheaper Shop-Floor Tools
3D printing jigs, fixtures, and manufacturing aids is one of the most practical uses of additive manufacturing. While prototypes get most of the attention, many manufacturers save the most time and money by printing the tools that help them build, assemble, and inspect their products. Our 3D printing studio in Los Angeles produces custom shop-floor […]
Custom Men’s Jewelry Design with CAD: Statement Rings, Cufflinks, and Chains
Custom men’s jewelry design has grown well beyond the plain wedding band.

At eCadCam, our jewelry services team in Los Angeles designs men’s jewelry for jewelers, brands, […]
CAD Design for Injection Molding: Draft Angles, Wall Thickness, and Tooling-Ready Models
CAD design for injection molding is a different discipline than modeling a part for 3D printing or machining. A model that prints beautifully on an SLA machine can be completely unmoldable — parts stick in the tool, warp as they cool, or show sink marks across every cosmetic surface. After 22+ years of taking products […]
