Introduction to Rhino 3D - Part 2

Norsola Johnson

This final class teaches how to prepare a piece to be printed and gives an overview in how to slice and create supports, using the Chitubox software, and allowing for printing using SLA resin printers.

After this class students would be qualified to rent lab time in the studio and print their own pieces.

I loved this course and recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about 3D software for jewellery Norsola is an excellent, passionate and experienced teacher who patiently guides us through the learning process. The course book is very well laid out, making it easy to follow the techniques and to remake the jewellery on our own. The bonus is the presence of 3D printers on site which allows us to directly put our knowledge into practice and design our projects. "
