From CAD to Reality: JINGYING’s Complete OEM Process for American Client’s Custom Earring Production

From CAD to Reality: JINGYING’s Complete OEM Process for American Client’s Custom Earring Production

Executive Summary

This 5,000-word technical whitepaper documents JINGYING Jewelry Manufacturing’s end-to-end OEM service for a U.S.-based fashion brand’s custom earring collection. The case study examines how an American client’s CAD designs were transformed into 12,000 pairs of finished earrings, highlighting:

  • Cross-border design collaboration protocols

  • Technical adaptations for mass production

  • Quality assurance systems meeting U.S. market standards

  • Logistics solutions for trans-Pacific jewelry shipping

1.2 CAD File Analysis

JINGYING’s engineering team identified 3 required modifications:

  1. Prong Thickness Adjustment (Original 0.3mm → Modified 0.5mm for durability)

  2. Hinge Mechanism Redesign (For easier assembly)

  3. การลดน้ำหนัก (From 8.2g to 6.5g per earring)

โต๊ะ: CAD Design vs. Production-Ready Comparison

Design Element Original CAD Modified Version Reason
การตั้งค่าหิน 4-ง่าม 6-ง่าม Security improvement
Post Length 7มม. 8มม. U.S. piercing standard
Surface Finish ด้าน Brushed Better scratch resistance

1.3 Compliance Documentation
