JEWELLERY CAD RHINO 3D COURSE SYLLABUS

Overview

Rhino is where a drawing stops being a picture and becomes a file a factory can run.

That jump is harder than it sounds, because the model now has to survive metal. A prong tall enough to hold the stone and short enough to close over it. A shank that keeps its section where it meets the head. Wall thickness that will not collapse on the sprue. Get those wrong and the piece looks perfect on screen, then comes back from the caster as scrap and nobody can say quite why. That is why this course spends its opening weeks on 2D curves and the eleven basic stone shapes before you are allowed to build anything solid.

Why CAD Rhino 3D is essential for production

Rhino is the software package most Indian production houses hire for, which is why it is the CAD course we are asked about most. A 3D modeler who understands manufacturing tolerances builds files that pass directly to 3D printers and master mold casters without expensive trial-and-error re-works.

Phase one is the toolkit — 2D tools and curves, motifs, surfaces and solids, then prong, bezel, pave and channel setting. Phase two is where pieces start appearing: ear tops and bali, pendants through to tanmaniya, ring shanks, fancy and gents rings, a chain bracelet, tikkra churi. Phase three is necklaces. You finish by submitting a production portfolio rather than sitting a written exam. Students who finish here usually move on to KeyShot rendering or ZBrush sculpting.

Who this course is for

Designers who already draw well and keep being asked for a CAD file, anyone in a family workshop tired of outsourcing 3D modeling, and career-changers with no prior background. No prior CAD experience is assumed. Most people arrive here after manual designing; if you already draw, you can start at Rhino.

Who teaches it

CAD here is headed by Naina Gupta, who has spent more than ten years between teaching and live client work. Sourav Paul came to us from nine years in jewellery manufacturing rather than from a classroom, and it shows in what he corrects — he will tell you a wall is too thin before the caster does. Neelam D. Ghosh also takes CAD training. The academy is led by Rayala Rahul Rao, a GIA Graduate Gemologist.
