CAD CAM for Jewelry Class -------- >>> 26 May - 6 June 2008
By Mr. Russell B. Hyder,
Jewelry Manufacturing Arts Manager and Instructor
By Mr. Russell B. Hyder, Jewelry Manufacturing Arts Manager and Instructor, has been with GIA since 1998. He has instructed in the fields of the Graduate Jewelry Program and Applied Jewelry Arts Program inclusive of all around bench techniques for repair and manufacture; stone setting; fabrication; casting; mold making; comprehensive wax techniques; engraving and Cad/Cam. He has helped produce and write the Cad/Cam program for the past five years.
He has 35 years of jewelry repair and manufacturing experience and holds a BA degree in education from the University of Northern Colorado. His career started in Boulder, Colorado where he apprenticed under two master jewelers. He has managed a jewelry trade shop for 6 years and owned his own trade shop for 10. After doing independent contractor work nationwide in the US, he joined GIA to become an instructor; product manager, and for the past two years, the manager for the Jewelry Manufacturing Arts department at GIA.
At GIA, he coordinated and produced course text materials for both programs to keep GIA technically up to date. He has been responsible for acquiring computer software for Cad/Cam; laser welders; a computer driven engraving machine; a CNC 4-axis mill and various educational hardware to make the GIA learning experience second to none.
In recognizing two major changes in manufacturing over the past few years, i.e., laser welding and Cad/Cam, the need for qualified designers and manufacturing techniques have changed remarkably. These two areas have changed the way designers can think about designing and manufacturing methods for the end product. It is a much more efficient way in respect to figuring out costs and downstream production time.
