Computer-aided Design for the Jewelry Artist

This is a live 1-on-1 online introductory course in computer-aided design for jewelers.

It covers basic 3D modeling techniques using "Moment of Inspiration" (MOI), an intuitive CAD program developed specifically for artists and designers.

The course consists of 4 two-hour online lessons using a secure desktop sharing application in conjunction with a telephone connection.

Upon completion of the course, the student has the option for their design to be cut in jewelers wax on a ModelMaster CNC 1000 milling machine, ready for casting in metal.

For use during the class, MOI is available as a 30 day trial version. A fully licensed version may be purchased through the instructor.

Cost of course is $149 payable through PayPal. This course is also available for Rhinoceros. For more information please send an email. jdkdesigns@gmail.com

3D Jewelry & CAD

MoI Jewelry Design

Introducing our MoI Tutorials, MoI (Moment of Inspiration) is an new 3D modeling/CAD program for designers and artists, being developed by Michael Gibson, the original creator of Rhinoceros. (MoI can be downloaded as a free beta).

The ease of use and simplicity of the work flow in MoI is very impressive. With a logical simplicity, it's almost as if MoI anticipates where you're going next as it accomplishes two or three tasks within one step. Among it's innovative features are construction lines which pop up temporarily as guidelines for position and orientation, enabling you to accomplish the dimensional precision required for jewelry design while still having the freedom to do free-form modeling... (all examples of 3D jewelry designs in the gallery were created in MoI, some were subsequently rendered with Flamingo).

We at JDK 3D Jewelry Design provide design consultation based on your specifications, CNC wax models, training in MoI and Rhino 4, and also represent ModelMaster's line of CNC mills for jewelers.

For more information or if you simply wish to request a tutorial, please send us an email at jdkdesignsATgmail.com.
