    In this introduction to CAD/CAM the student learns to: customize the modeling environment; create basic graphic objects-lines, circles, arcs, curves, solids, and surfaces; draw with precision, using coordinate input and merge models to different file formats; create, test and verify solid models in STL file format for production of rapid prototypes; and render models.

    Note: This course is sometimes offered as an online course under Section Number 701. Prerequisite:    CRAFTS 2453 (0153) Jewelry, Metals/Jewelry/CAD-CAM Major, or Special Permission

  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is a continuation of CAD/CAM I. The primary objective of this course is to create a solids model in Rhino. The model is then verified for accuracy using Magics RP and prepared for rapid prototyping (RP). Students create a ring model to be produced via the Sanders Model Maker wax rapid prototyping system. These models are verified using Sanders Model/Works and Bview software. The student is assisted in having the model produced and cast. The concepts and principles of computer rendering the 3-D models is a major component of this course. Photorealistic renderings of the student’s Rhino models are produced using the NuGraf rendering system. Course Software: Rhinoceros, Magics RP, ModelWorks, Bview and NuGraf. Prerequisite:    Metals/Jewelry/CAD-CAM Major, and CAD/CAM I 2433 (0133)/3433 (0233 & 3233), or Special Permission
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course teaches the student to design and create objects in metal, and combine metal with other materials. The course focuses upon both design and technique. The student learns the fundamentals of design, current styles and formal characteristics of jewelry and metal objects through a series of design problems. Basic techniques of metal manipulation are covered from working with pre-existing metal forms as well as transforming objects into metal from non-metal models. The student learns to understand the field of metal as it relates to contemporary society, and the potentials of a career as an artist, working in metal and plastics. Students will be encouraged to design jewelry and/or objects that have personal meaning. Students will be asked to conceptualize each assignment, research historical precedents, and develop their ideas through a series of drawings and/or models.

    Note: This course does not fulfill Tyler BFA requirements. Prerequisite:    Non-Tyler BFA major, or Special Permission
