Jeweller - June 2022

With the increase in popularity of the technology
Sher says there is always a need to train and hire
staff to service demand and services.
“We are also continuously building on our
database for our staff to ensure any [updated]
information is easily accessible.
“With jewellers and stores, in general, being
extremely busy we have found that using a
one-stop-shop for CAD/CAM suits many of
our customers who can use all or some of
the services for jewellery production – from
designing, printing, casting, moulds, finishing
and setting.”
World of wax
One name we may soon be hearing more often is
Riacetech. The business was founded in 2006 by
Giovanni Lejkowski and is based in Arezzo, a city
in eastern Tuscany in Italy.
Riacetech creates innovative wax injectors which
provide companies in the casting industry with a
range of functionalities and compatibilities.
Technical sales engineer Alessio Farnetani told
Jeweller that what’s capable today with wax
injectors would have been considered fanciful a
little more than a decade ago.
“Our wax injectors were first created in 2006 and
the business was started in 2007. Today, what we
are capable of producing with the injectors, it was
the stuff of dreams back then,” he says.
“A lot of the advances come down to things
like network connectivity and improvements in
user-friendly access. Today, it’s very much easy
to begin making creations compared with what it
was like not too long ago.
“Improving user experience has always been
important for us, as is increasing the efficiency
of use, both to cut down on waste in an
environmental sense and also to save money for
the creator financially.”
Riacetech serves clients both in and out of
Europe, with a number of Australian businesses
currently utilising the company’s wax injectors.
Farnetani says that his sector has undergone a
rapid rise and fall in orders since the ‘conclusion’
or winding down of the COVID pandemic.
“For our business, the flow of orders we’ve had in
recent months, I would describe as sort of like an
elastic band,” he says.
