When it comes to knowledge of manufacturing and cad training, we know the path to success.  Our experience covers over 35 years of manufacturing and instructional techniques in the jewelry industry.   Russell B. Hyder, our founder, is a master bench jeweler, designer, business owner of a trade shop, and a former master instructor and curriculum developer for the Gemological Institute of America.

Our techniques in training are based on years of discovery from a worldwide audience including students and business owners alike. We have perfected adult learning theory to put you on the fast track of learning the two software applications we feel are the best in the industry for jewelry model making: Matrix by Gemvision Corporation, and Rhinoceros by Robert McNeel and Associates.

***We now offer virtual training on our pc's. All you have to have is an internet connection, mic and speakers/headset  to use Matrix or Rhino. Log in, listen and watch the instructor. Do the tasks just like you had it on your computer, print, save and download files right from home including the training manual.
