MatrixGold 4.0 Advanced Extension Course
Advanced Jewelry CAD & Production Workflow Masterclass (3 Days)
This intensive course is designed to upgrade existing CAD users to master MatrixGold 4.0. Transition fully into a non-destructive Parametric History workflow, mastering essential high-end commands to create production-ready, commercial 3D jewelry models.
Rhino 3D is a world-class, versatile 3D modeling software capable of generating highly precise freeform geometry, fully integrated with Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) systems.
When powered by MatrixGold 4.0—the industry-flagship jewelry software driven by Rhino and Grasshopper engines—complex CAD operations transform into intuitive, automated Dynamic Builders. Streamline your creation process for Gem Layouts, Heads & Prongs, Specialty Ring Structures (Ring Rails, Signet, Award Rings), and Decorative Ornaments with unmatched speed.
The cornerstone of MatrixGold is its Parametric History Tree, enabling real-time adjustments to finger sizes, gemstone dimensions, or wall thicknesses without rebuilding models from scratch. Additionally, this course covers precision Cutters, Metal Weight Calculation, Gem Mapping, Photorealistic Rendering, and exporting production-ready .3dm and watertight .stl files for 3D Printing (RP) and CNC milling.
