A Curved Surface Cutting System for Jewelry and Artistic Products was developed to produce a relief wax model automatically. This wax model is used for the a lostwax process to make a brooch or pendant. This system consists of four subsystems : Sketch reading, Editting of picture data, Making of Cutting data, Cutting of a wax model. In the first subsystem, designer's sketch and outline data of the sketch are read into a computer with a image scanner. The second subsystem edits depth information and outline vector using the imaginary cutting tools. The third subsystem translates the picture data into the cutting data by considering a tool form and the waxsize. In the fourth subsystem, a real wax model is manufactured with a 3-axis cutting machine. Using this system it is possible to design jeweley and artistic products which have complicated and varied structure and to cut it which have smooth curved surfaces.
