TITLE
A method of using a highly detailed, three dimensional, original, jewelry model to produce two different, thin walled, light weight expendable, thermoplastic replicas, castable in metal.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The technical field of the invention relates to using a highly detailed, three dimensional, jewelry model to produce two different, thin walled, light weight, expendable, thermoplastic replicas of the model, castable in metal, with one replica having the same direct frontal viewing aspect as that of the model and the second replica having a direct frontal viewing aspect of 180 degrees opposite to that of the model, a result commonly known in the jewelry industry as the left and right versions.

TECHNICAL FIELD
The technical field of the invention relates to using a highly detailed, three dimensional, jewelry model to produce two different, thin walled, light weight, expendable, thermoplastic replicas of the model, castable in metal, with one replica having the same direct frontal viewing aspect as that of the model and the second replica having a direct frontal viewing aspect of 180 degrees opposite to that of the model, a result commonly known in the jewelry industry as the left and right versions.
BACKGROUND OF THE ART
Presently the jewelry industry uses three main methods to produce two different direct frontal viewing aspects of a master model.
A brief description of each method follows.
Method one consists of providing a master model with a form and details having a direct frontal viewing aspect in either a left or right direct frontal viewing aspect then producing a copy of the master in a direct frontal viewing aspect of 180 degrees opposite to that of the master model, using conventional jewelry productionmethods or mechanical production methods, in each case it is a very time consuming procedure where reasonably accurate results can only be obtained with very simple designs.
Method two consist of bonding two sheets of a model producing material, cutting out two basic forms, altering the forms, filing soldering, the two forms together and as the first method it is a very time consuming procedure and is limited to relatively simple designs.
Method three consists of the production of two separate metal stamping dies, one for the facing right version and one for the facing left version and is limited to the production of plain designs, free of any sharp angles or undercuts, production of the dies is expensive and can only be justified where the production of very large volume is involved.

The jewelry industry has spent much time and expense in the search of an efficient method to reproduce the form and details of complicated, three dimensional models, in a thin walled, light weight, replicas of the model, with one replica facing in a direct frontal viewing aspect as the model and the other replica facing in a direct frontal viewing aspect of 180 degrees opposite to that of the model without success.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of using a highly detailed, three dimensional, jewelry model and reproducing it's form and details in two different, thin walled, light weight, cast metal replicas, with the first replica having the same direct frontal viewing aspect as that of the model and the second replica having a direct frontal viewing aspect of 180 degrees opposite that of the model and the first replica.
