This very important aspect of modern design is taught to the student, wherein the student is taken through the paces of designing on the computer using the world’s most advanced jewellery design software –MATRIX. CAD is an advantage to the designer, manufacturer and the customer. CAD allows visualization of design to be transformed onto the computer screen instead of paper and is a fluid process that can be changed as quickly as the designer’s creative imagination. CAD also allows the visualization in any viewing angle and provides powerful tools to practically execute any function with regard to the design. These designs, can be stored as data files converted into high quality photo, sending images for design presentation or shown to customers or can quickly be converted into “trees” for high quality production/manufacture through a CAM machine. This course is a must for any budding designer who has ambitions to make it into the creative world of design and manufacturing.
