The course will introduce the necessary tools, methods, and principles that will allow participants to acquire basic knowledge, leading them into the world of jewelry design using Rhinoceros 3D.

  • Lesson 1

    Why Rhinoceros 3D for jewelry design?
    Overview of the program, main window, toolbars, viewports, keyboard shortcuts.
    Modifying windows, display methods.
    Units and tolerances, templates, creating a custom jewelry template.
    File types, open – save, import and export files in different formats.
    Primitive 3D objects.
    Object selection, highlighting, moving.
    Layers and working with layers.
    History and how to use it.
    2D drawing – curves, types: lines, circles, ellipses, polygons, spirals.
    Curve operations: trimming, joining, scaling, rounding, offsetting, copying.
    Technical drawing elements: dimensions, hatching.
    Surfaces.
    Building surfaces using different methods.
    Extrusion, sweep along one or two rails, revolve, revolve along a rail, Loft. Surface tools, editing, transformation.
    Practical exercises in building surfaces using different methods.
    Creating a simple ring using various methods.

  • Lesson 2

    Complex surfaces, surface modifications.
    Geometric solids, construction methods: sphere, cylinder, cone, frustum,
    tube, pipe, ellipsoid, torus.
    Does a sphere have a beginning? The “seam” of a revolving surface.
    Solid tools.
    Reconstruction, extracting curves and planes from solids.
    Boolean operations: union, difference, split.
    Things to watch for.
    Using Boolean operations to create convex and concave relief.
    The “Text” tool.
    Creating engravings on rings.
    Using images, sketches, and photographs as a reference for tracing. Placing bitmap images, moving, scaling. Using the learned curve-drawing techniques.
    Benefits of using bitmap images, what to watch for.
    Creating a filigree earring based on a drawing or photograph.

  • Lesson 3

    Creating a classic ring with a single stone using learned techniques.
    Types of stone settings:
    – Closed setting (bezel);
    – Prong setting;
    – Chaton setting.
    Creating the band using the learned tools: sweep along one or two rails, using a “cage.”
    Paying attention to the difference between what is visible on the monitor and the actual dimensions. Discussion of measurement tools, precision, and tolerance.

  • Lesson 4

    Stone setting on a surface.
    Principles, required tools, creating “cutters.”
    Surface orientation tools, building “prongs.” Differences between modeling for printing and visualization.
    Channel setting.
    How to create a ring with stones in a channel setting.
    Building a multi-stone ring: bezel, plate, prong, shank, leaves using learned techniques and tools: surface drawing, surface offset, placing stones and prongs.
    Building an element with filigree in a plant motif.
    Surface from a curve grid.
    Flattening surfaces, UV curves, transferring drawings to a convex surface. The “Flow Along Surface” tool.
    Application for creating filigree elements for brooches, earrings, or bracelets.
    Work aids. Creating a library of custom elements and using it.
    Preparing models for printing.
    Eliminating metal shrinkage. File formats, export.
    Common errors and methods for correcting them. Tools for “show naked edges” and “show bad objects.”
    Splitting models into parts to facilitate processing.
