Drakon3d – Parametric Jewellery Design

Drakon 3D is a powerful parametric design plugin built specifically for Rhino 3D, with deep integration into both Rhino and Grasshopper. Originally developed for the jewellery industry, it delivers a flexible framework that supports complex modelling tasks with speed and accuracy. Unlike generic CAD tools, Drakon 3D is structured around practical design processes. It enables users to create models driven by logic, relationships, and editable parameters—making it ideal for professionals who require high levels of control and repeatability. From concept modelling to detailed production-ready outputs, Drakon 3D helps designers reduce manual steps, improve consistency, and maintain freedom of form.

The plugin’s capabilities extend well beyond traditional solid modelling. With Drakon, users can create intelligent components that adapt dynamically as inputs change—such as gems that automatically fit to curves, patterned surfaces that respond to scale, or ring profiles that adjust around finger sizes. This rule-based approach means fewer rebuilds and a more streamlined workflow. Whether the task involves creating one-off bespoke pieces or developing variations on a theme, Drakon supports efficient iteration without compromising on creative intent.

The plugin is non-destructive by design. This means any component in the chain can be updated at any stage, with the full design adjusting accordingly. For example, changing the finger size on a ring updates all dependent elements—including the shank, stone layout, and settings—without breaking the model. This dynamic behaviour significantly cuts down modelling time, especially for users producing multiple versions or working to tight production deadlines. And for those familiar with Grasshopper, Drakon’s components can be driven further using visual scripting, adding another level of automation and control.
