Abstract Nancy Attaway, the Albuquerque artist and owner of High Country Gems, purchased a copy of SolidWorks CAD software and loaded it onto her NT-based PC. The result has been a radical change in the way she designs and creates jewelry. She and her husband design each piece in SolidWorks, then e-mail the file to a service bureau in Florida. There, using a Sanders Prototype ModelMaker II rapid prototyping machine, the service bureau translates the file into an accurate 3D plastic model and, from it, builds a gold cast of the piece. XX
