Culet Studio and other jewelry renderers
Each of these tools takes a finished jewelry CAD file and shows it: as photos, a 360° view, a 3D viewer or AR try-on. Here's what each one does, what it costs, and where the others are better.

What it replaces
Three vendors and a week, or one file
Today a jewelry CAD file goes to CAD software to be checked, to a render studio for photos and to a viewer app for the store. Here's how that compares, including the one thing Culet Studio doesn't do.
| Desktop renderers | Rendering services | 3D and AR store platforms | Culet Studio | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| You open your own CAD file | Yes, with a paid license | No — you send it to them | Some do; others model it for you | Yes, in the browser |
| Product photos in every metal | Yes, you set up each scene | Charged per image, per angle or per metal | Some, often as a service | One batch, every metal |
| 360° view on your store | Some, through add-ons | Often an extra service | Yes | Yes |
| AR try-on | Not usually | Not usually | Often | No |
| Weight per alloy and stone list from the file | Not usually | Not usually | Not usually | Automatic, from any file |
| Casting checks before printing | Not usually | Not usually | Not usually | Automatic report |
| Your file stays on your computer | Yes | No — you send it | Usually uploaded | Yes, unless you share a 3D view |
| Cost | From about $1,300 a year | Per image or per piece | Free plans to quote only | Free, with credit |
General comparison of tool types, not of any one product; individual tools vary. Typical prices as listed on vendors' sites, October 2026. Culet Studio renders and checks finished files: you still design in your CAD software, such as Rhino or MatrixGold.
