Course content

4 sections • 16 lectures • 3h 40m total length

Introduction0:53
Explore the foundations of cad and 3d printing for jewelry, covering basics, common manufacturing processes, and 3d modeling with digital sculpting software; begin your zebrafish project and prep for casting.
Basics of CAD and production Process29:23
Learn the basics of CAD and the jewelry production workflow from design brief to 3D printing and finishing, and explore hybrid modeling with Rhino, Matrix, Matrix Gold, Modo, and Zebrafish.

Introduction0:37
Explore the Modo interface, learn to navigate inside the scene, and complete your first shrink in module, with practical tips and tricks for beginner jewelry design.
Modo's User Interface12:13
Explore Modo's user interface basics, from startup pop-ups and mouse input presets to preferences, units, file input and output, toolbars, and managing layers, items, and shading.
Navigation tools inside of Modo7:28
Master navigation in Modo by configuring mouse presets, then rotate, pan, and zoom the scene with alt and mouse buttons. Switch viewports with the pie menu for efficient work.
Make your first ring in Modo part 0112:09
Learn to create your first ring in Modo by setting units, building a cylinder with precise position and radius, converting UK/Europe finger sizes to diameter, and saving the project.
Make your first ring in Modo part 0213:07
Continue building the base ring in Modo by converting it to a 3d solid. Extend the edge with z symmetry and use sub-selection to edit vertices, edges, and polygons.
Make your first ring in Modo part 0311:58
Continue refining a ring in modo by adding thickness and beveling edges, ensuring 0.8 mm minimum metal thickness from 2.2 mm total, and save versions for sub D mode.
Make your first ring in Modo part 0416:15
Continue refining the ring in Modo by cleaning up duplicate surfaces with mesh cleanup and using symmetry to create flat edges for easier casting and printing.

Adding feeding Sprue for Casting par 115:08
Add a feeding sprue in cad to connect the main pattern to the casting tree. Maintain sprue diameter about 30 mm and height 18-20 mm, avoiding sharp angles.
Adding feeding Sprue for Casting part 219:29
Learn to create a feeding sprue for a jewellery casting model by adding a screw-shaped cylinder and aligning it to the main ring. Export a print-ready stl and save project.
Adding Supports for 3D printing15:15
Learn to add supports for 3d printed jewelry models using chatterbox free software, focusing on when to add supports for angles under 45 degrees and for flat areas.

Introduction1:32
Begin the first day of jury designing in zebrafish by learning the interface, navigating the software, importing the 3D model, and sculpting a new ring with the main sculpting tools.
Navigation In Zbrush and Importing a 3D model in ZBrush20:00
Export your Modo model to an OBJ format, import it into ZBrush, and master basic navigation, viewport control, and project saving within the ZBrush interface.
SCULPTING in ZBrush31:48
Learn sculpting in ZBrush by increasing detail through dynamic subdivision and the divide command. Refine a ring with standard and clay brushes using symmetry.
Preparing model for exporting and 3D printing13:22
Learn to prepare a jewelry model for export and 3d printing by reducing polygon density with decimation while preserving details and setting up for printing.

Requirements

No CAD or jewellery experience needed.
Basic knowledge of computer
Laptop or PC capable of Running Foundry Modo and Zbrush
Modo and Zbrush subscription or perpetual license or 1-month trial version

Description

In this course, you will learn the basics of how to design jewellery by using 3D modelling tools and learn how to bring your designs to a real-life by 3D printing them.

You learn about the common jewellery manufacturing processes and principles of designing and making jewellery by using cutting-edge tools and methods.

This is a project-based course and includes:

· Theory And Technical Tips· Learning different Stone setting techniques

· Basics of 3D Modelling in Modo and ZBrush

· 3D printing processes and preparing your model for 3D Printing

· Manufacturing Processes, how to add casting feeder sprue to the model before 3D printing

Doesn’t matter if you have no experience related to jewellery or are an experienced jewellery CAD designer. Both can benefit from the tips and techniques shared in this course.

Foundry Modo and Pixologic Zbrush are used as the main 3D modelling software packages, but you can implement most of the course content into your preferred 3D modelling software.

Main features of the course:

1. Easier and fastest ways of 3d modelling organic and complex jewellery designs

2. Learning jewellery production standards and procedures from the industry expert

3. Project-based course; Start making jewellery from the first day of the course.
