Digital artisanship
3D Design has become an established procedure in all modern manufacturing processes. In this workshop, I wish to introduce this fascinating tool to jewellers. Previous knowledge in 3D Design is not necessary.
You will work with the software programmes RHINOCEROS and SCULPTRIS. I will introduce the freedoms that computer-aided modelling can produce when combined with the artistic possibilities. RHINOCEROS, a construction programme for high dimensional accuracy, offers a number of tools for design and free forms. Due to its sculptural approach, SCULPTRIS is a useful supplement to the conceptual work in RHINOCEROS. The workshop will discuss the differences and strengths of both programmes. I will showcase the interaction of different tools and the application of commands on participants’ own projects. We will have access to 3D printers, e.g. the Eleegoo Saturn3. The designed objects can be printed immediately in plastic or castable resin.
In cooperation with the casting workshop of Peter Vermandere (see 2nd workshop week) your CAD-models can also be post-shaped and casted.
ISA supplies:
-a Windows-based computer,
-3d-printer,
-resin for model making.
You need to bring:
-basic computer knowledge,
-if you prefer to work on a macintosch, you can bring yours (with Rhinoceros8 installed!)
