Overview

Jewelry Design (Matrix) teaches you to design jewelry in 3D using Matrix, CAD software used across the jewelry industry to produce precise, production ready pieces. In the onsite format of this course at CIS College (80 hours; an online format of around 50 hours is also available), you will move from the Matrix interface and basic 3D modeling tools through full jewelry design projects such as rings, pendants, and earrings.

You will also learn the production side of design work: checking models for 3D printing and casting, exporting files correctly, and preparing a professional portfolio. Students bring their own laptop to the course to install the Matrix software.

What You Will Learn

Navigate the Matrix interface and understand how it compares to Rhino
Build and edit 3D curves, solids, and surfaces
Apply jewelry design foundations such as ring sizing and stone settings
Design complete jewelry pieces including rings, pendants, and earrings
Use advanced modeling techniques such as sweep, loft, and blend surfaces
Render jewelry designs with materials, lighting, and camera angles
Prepare models for 3D printing and casting, including STL export
Build a professional digital design portfolio
