Why We Are
35 Years bringing your designs to life
35 Years bringing your designs to life
For over three decades, we’ve been doing what we love right here in Manhattan.
We believe that the creative mind of a designer should always be free of technical notions. All technicalities must be left to the technicians.
That is where Atlas JS comes in – we embrace your ideas, ideals and dreams and bring them to life with passion.
It has always been and is vastly gratifying to witness our customers' success.
This mission is what fuels us every day.
Production Mold Creation
You pick the service as you need it.
Natural Rubber
High-Temperature Vulcanizing. Natural rubber is pressed onto the model at high temperature, copying the pattern and vulcanizing the rubber. This adds tensile strength and elasticity.
At this point, the model is freed by cutting the mold open with a surgical blade. Only metal models or other materials resistant to high heat and pressure can be molded using this process.
Shrinkage is ≈ 5%.
RTV / Silicone
Room Temperature Vulcanizing. Part A and Part B liquids are mixed.
This is poured into the mold frame where the model is suspended. In a few hours, the material solidifies.
At this point, the model is freed by cutting the mold open with a surgical blade. Almost anything can be molded using this method and material.
Shrinkage is ≈ 3%.
CAD
Computer-Aided Design. We use this process to digitally create a 3D model from a sketch.
3D Printing
We send the digital file to our printers to create the wax pattern. We accept .stl and .3dm files.
Wax Carving
The model is carved by hand in wax. This process was the only way to create a wax pattern before the 1980s.

Lost Wax Casting
It is the process where a model is embedded in plaster of paris. Put in the oven, the wax will leave a cavity ( wax is lost ). Then the cavity will receive the molten metal now becoming the metal model.

We can take the surface appearance to different shine levels: Pre-polish (F2), High-Polish (F3).
Assembly
We fit together hinges, claps, lockets, and all kinds of closures.
Stone Setting
Our setting techniques are: - All types of prongs - Flush setting - burnish - All types of channel - Pave + micro pave - Fishtail setting - dovetail.
Laser Engraving
We accept or create the lines of any design to laser cut on flat, circumference, or elliptical surfaces.
Hand Engraving
This old technique of cutting with specifically shaped gravers is the most beautiful engraving process. We can produce amazing monograms.
Plating
Our electroplating system is capable of coating in standard colors: - rhodium - black rhodium - gold in 14-18-24K shades.
