Strategic Alliance between Rio Grande and Vision numeric

Vision numeric proudly announces its collaboration with Rio Grande to bring 3DESIGN software to the jewelry industry. 3DESIGN software delivers complete and innovative CAD/CAM solutions that are ideally suited to today’s jewelry designers, retailers and manufacturers.

With this partnership, Rio Grande, a worldwide supplier of jewelry tools & equipment, and Vision numeric, developer of 3DESIGN CAD software (recognized around the world as the most advanced jewelry CAD software on the market), reach toward their common goal: helping thousands of jewelers discover a new kind of 3D jewelry software and realize that they, too, can join the jewelry CAD revolution with ease and success.

Cyril Saelens, Vision numeric US Business Manager said, “From design to model making and casting needs, our alliance will offer Rio Grande’s customers the chance to develop new business opportunities and open up new choices when it comes to CAD/CAM technologies”.

Patrick Sage, Rio Grande CAD/CAM and Casting Engineer added that “3DESIGN CAD was an easy choice for us. This is the most intuitive, visually clean and easy-to-use CAD software created for jewelers. And it comes from a company that shares our high standards and values—especially when it comes to customer satisfaction.”

Both teams are very pleased to join forces during this first event at the Catalog In Motion Show, February 5-8th, 2010, at the Tucson East Hilton Hotel in Tuscon, Arizona (www.cataloginmotion.com). Come and join us to discover, learn and use 3DESIGN CAD software.
