Comprehensive CAD/CAM

The new driving force in jewelry design and manufacturing technology.

There’s a place where the beautiful meets the technical; where the subtle meets the tactile; and where form meets function. GIA’s Comprehensive CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) for Jewelry course is where time-saving advancements meet timeless artistry in a hands-on, highly interactive environment.

In GIA’s Comprehensive CAD/CAM for Jewelry course you’ll develop the skills necessary to create designs and share them with customers. Through 210 hours of intensive, hands-on classroom experience, students develop the professional skills to use state-of-the-art jewelry design and manufacturing-related software and hardware and take jewelry designs from concepts to photo-realistic renderings and finally to casting-ready models.

By graduation, you’ll have been trained with the necessary skills to succeed in the use of jewelry design-related software – Rhinoceros 3-D Design, Matrix 3-D Jewelry Design, T-Splines Modeling, Flamingo Rendering, and V-Ray Rendering.
