Generic project boards have no concept of burnout ramp curves, induction casting, or microscope claw setting. FlaskWork maps the real workshop workflow — with full customization to enable, disable, or bypass stages like investing and casting if you outsource to external foundries.
Client ring sizing, alloy specification (18K / 14K / 950 Pt), reference photos, and required stones logged. The live Quoting Engine calculates exact metal density, labor hours, and locks a 50% deposit before wax carving begins.
No two jewelry workshops operate identically. Whether you cast in your own foundry or outsource raw tree casting to commercial trade houses, FlaskWork adapts to your exact setup without phantom bottlenecks.
Complete end-to-end control from CAD resin printing and burnout kilns to vacuum induction casting, sprue cutoff, microscope setting, and high-rouge polish.
You carve wax or design in CAD and send models out to commercial trade casters. Easily toggle off Stage 04 (Invest) and Stage 05 (Casting) so pieces jump straight from Design to Raw Cast Assembly.
Tailor the board strictly for incoming raw mountings, antique restoration, claw re-tipping, laser welding, and micro-pavé melee allocation.
Goldsmiths work with investment plaster, tripoli compound, and ultrasonic baths. You can't expect a setter or polisher to type on a touchscreen with polishing rouge all over their fingers.
FlaskWork prints durable half-sheet job tickets from standard laser or thermal printers. Each slip carries a scannable QR code, client piece details, target cast weights, and alloy codes.
In a fine jewelry atelier, quality isn't an afterthought. If a piece fails 10x loupe inspection at Stage 09 (e.g. prong porosity, claw misalignment, or solder seam pits), FlaskWork does not simply mark the job "stuck."
The inspector selects an explicit earlier target stage (e.g. Stage 07 Stone Setting or Stage 05 Casting) with a recorded defect reason. The job card re-opens at that bench with full attempt history preserved, preventing flawed work from ever reaching client delivery.
Inspection loupes and microscope setting benches operate under intense 5000K LED bench lamps. FlaskWork includes deep Dark Mode to prevent eye fatigue and let you inspect microscopic metal flaws with zero glare.
