[QUOTE="Sodabowski, post: 367635, member: 2712"] Thanks for the nice words Debbie, I'm working towards that goal indeed! At the moment I'm examining different technical means of aligning the rough after it has been scanned and a best-yield design prepared and orientated. On the exact matter of sapphires I devised a dopping accessory that I submitted to UltraTec several years ago, but after some prototyping they came to the conclusion it would be unprofitable for them to bring to the market, so I'm slowly gearing up to produce and market it myself. This is how far I've gone to date on the 3D modeller : [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/2712/1509144177_image_3.jpg[/img] With a very basic gem design only to test the interface. Next will be the controls to actually "cut" into the rough and build the design as in GemCAD. It already has the importing features for the reconstructed 3D mesh from the scanning software. [/QUOTE]
