The software

Matrix: the language Surat’s jewellery industry designs in.

A parametric 3D CAD engine purpose-built for jewellery — not a general modelling tool adapted for it.

Matrix software interface
Quick answer

Matrix is a parametric 3D CAD software built specifically for jewellery design — used across Surat’s manufacturing and export studios for ring, band and stone-setting construction. Unlike general-purpose 3D tools, Matrix exports directly to production-ready files for wax printing and casting. Crystal Jewelry Institute teaches Matrix through 12 structured modules, from interface basics to manufacturing-ready export.

FAQ

Matrix software — common questions

What is Matrix software used for?

Designing jewelry in 3D — rings, bands, bridal sets and stone settings — with files that export directly to wax-printing and casting specifications.

Is Matrix software free?

No, Matrix is commercial software with a license cost. Our courses teach the skills — we can guide you on licensing during enrollment.

How long does it take to learn Matrix?

Roughly 6–7 months offline (flexible) for all 12 modules, or self-paced online — some modules can be completed in a week of focused practice.

Do I need a powerful computer?

No high-end hardware is required — most computers from the last 5 years handle Matrix comfortably. Offline students use provided workstations.
