Swarovski, the world’s leading manufacturer of cut crystal, and Vision Numeric (VN), artistic CAD/CAM software developer, have formed an alliance to offer a CAD product dedicated to jewelry design called 3DESIGN. The software integrates Swarovski’s crystal fashion components in its library giving users the possibility to create exquisite and original designs.

“Swarovski and Vision Numeric share a commitment to provide ground-breaking products to achieve sophisticated and innovative graphic objects,” said Philippe Blache, sales and marketing director at VN, based in Lyon, France. “Combining Swarovski’s unmatched quality and variety of crystal products and Vision Numeric’s in-depth expertise and foresight in the jewelry software industry, we could hardly find a more harmonious partnership”.

This 3DESIGN version also offers a new interface, an improved parametric history tree, new wizards, a powerful rendering module, video maker, and more import/export capabilities.
