For the basic order, since the design sketches and CAD models are already created before, the system will send the specification of the basic order to vendors in China and India automatically. Since the moulds which are made of silicone rubber or vulcanized rubber are already produced, the vendors can generate the wax pieces and start the lost-wax casting process for creating the finished metal products (i.e. jewellery) directly (see Figure 3). For the tailor-made order, the system will send the specification of the tailor-made order to the designer (see Figure 2). The designer will prepare several design sketches for customers to comment and select. When the design is
