Rhino CAD/CAM for jewellers
Move from sketch to CAD-ready files. Every exercise uses rings, pendants, settings and bezels. Taught by a McNeel Authorised Trainer.
What you will be able to do
By the end of a 10-session pack you will be modelling production-ready jewellery in Rhino: bands, signets, settings, pavé layouts, pendants and earrings. You will export clean files for a 3D printer or a caster, render product-quality images for marketing, and price your CAD work confidently. Every session is 1:1, taught against your own design briefs, not generic exercises.
Who it is for
- ·Bench jewellers moving into CAD without leaving the bench behind.
- ·Designers who want production-ready files, not pretty pictures.
- ·Jewellers ready to charge for CAD work as a service line.
- ·Apprentices and trade entrants wanting to leap-frog the slow self-taught route.
