Rhino 3D : Jewelry Design In Action

Learn to define the central stone position, create a basket setting, design spacing and rails to maximize light and ensure moldable clearance for mass production.

Create a cutter for the stone and subtract it from the bezel by building and aligning layers, copying geometry, and applying a boolean difference to form a watertight object.

Create a ring shank profile in Rhino 3D using rectangle or line, set depth and weight, then divide the profile and add yellow guide lines on a profile layer.

Use the pull command in Rhino 3D to create inside curves by selecting a surface, adding an inside curves layer, and following the cylinder shape with red and green curves.

Apply boolean difference in Rhino 3D to subtract cutters from the shoulder, then create and arrange prongs for a center stone, aligning it on the surface for a secure setting.

Finish the ring shank by mirroring coping to the other side, rotate and copy curves, then patch and join surfaces to prepare for 3D printing.

Prepare a multi-part ring design in Rhino 3D for 3D printing by separating the shank and heads, enabling color variations, easier assembly, and exporting a watertight STL.
