Understanding Jewelry CAD introduces students to computer-aided jewelry design using 3Design CAD/CAM software, a professional program developed specifically for the jewelry industry.

Students learn how to create, modify, and visualize detailed 3D jewelry models while exploring the essential tools and features of the 3Design program. The course covers basic jewelry construction, design modifications, accurate dimensions, and the application of different metals, gemstones, colors, and materials on screen.

Each session combines instructor demonstrations with supervised hands-on practice, allowing students to apply key jewelry CAD design techniques with personalized guidance. By the end of the course, students will understand the fundamentals of 3D jewelry modeling and be able to create their first original computer-aided jewelry designs.
