CrossGems: Rhino/Grasshopper Parametric Jewelry Software

January 11, 2023

What it's about CrossGems is a professional jewelry software with more than 100 tools which allows you to design any complex model easily and quickly without having technical CAD knowledge. The goal is to take advantage of parametric design without the need to learn traditional parametric trees, creating a powerful modeler that can be used by anyone in Rhino and Grasshopper. Who is presenting Enric del Molino is the main RhinoGold and Panther developer, and Juan Hernandez the main designer of CrossBytes. Their background goes back to the origins of RhinoGold, developing from RhinoGold 3 to RhinoGold 6.5 for more than 10 years until the beginning of MatrixGold when we created Panther 3D, CrossGems is the evolution of Panther in all aspects. Who should watch Jewelry professionals, 3D design users, Panther 3D users, and Rhino users with or without design skills who want to learn how to model jewelry.
