So first of all, hi to everyone in here.:-)
I just signed up and try to ask respectfully for some support hoping to not offend anyone with maybe trivial or too basic questions.
The main reason is I have a befriended goldsmith with some very big ego and it's pretty hard to ask her anything without immediately getting the sh*t from her for asking.

So i designed multiple pieces of Rings like signet rings and then usually handed them over to the goldsmith for polishing work and some soldering.
But now im trying to create my unique engagement ring piece and apparently I have some missunderstandings with the diamond setting after casting.

So the issue is: my goldsmith is telling me I can't 3d print -> cast a diamond set ring because it wouldn't allow her to polish the the casting remains without increasing the size of the diamond cut outs. But that to me that negates the whole purpose of using 3d software to develop these complicated settings like french settings etc.

I hope I'm making sense.

Best and thanks for any knowledge shared.
