Lapidarius

A faceting design program. Make designs for faceting stones using the graphical user interface, preview cuts before they are made, and use symmetry to create remarkable gems. See step-by-step instructions on how to cut your designs, and see the path of individual light rays of different colors through the stone when a material with a given refractive index and dispersion is used. Still in progress. Open to suggestions of features.

Features

Interactive 3D view of design
Adjustable rotation and reflection symmetry
Step-by-step cutting instructions
Change index gear and transfer
Center and scale the stone
Shows path of light rays through the material
Change refractive index and dispersion
Select points for meetpoint faceting
Save and load designs
Shows measurements of the cut stone
Use height, angle, index, and/or points to cut

Project Samples

$Refraction and dispersion in a round brilliant cut. Refractive index and dispersion are for rutile, since it shows the effect more clearly.$ $An example of more complex dispersion involving total internal reflection. Refractive index and dispersion values are for rutile.$

You can see a preview of the cutting planes before you make cuts, including the symmetry and reflection, making it easier to see what the result of the cuts will be like.
