Professional Jewelry Design CAD

The Jewelry Design & Technology diploma program covers topics essential to becoming a jewelry designer and CAD/Panther (computer-aided design) technician, including designing a piece of jewelry from a concept, creating it in CAD/panther to engineering specifications and understanding the challenges that come with its manufacturing.

Outline:

• Use fundamental design concepts, including texture, shape, form, balance, negative space, color and more
• Create, render, and prototype designs using Rhinoceros based software called Panther software
• Apply the CAD model engineering concepts to make durable and comfortable pieces that are long lasting
• Understand manufacturing processes for the creation of jewelry
• Design and develop CAD/Panther models using the metrics of scale, proportion, and element relationships, and within the constraints of cost, time, size, style, and manufacturing methods
• Develop digital and physical portfolios of class projects and custom designs that are ready for presentation to potential clients and employers, and display work in a final design exhibition
