Since 2008, the Additive Manufacturing Institute has offered Rhino 3D training and workshops to a diverse array of industries and academic institutions. With over eighteen years of expertise in Rhino 3D modeling and instruction, the institute has served clients ranging from academic entities, such as universities and design schools, to industries including jewellery, automotive, footwear, architecture, marine, and industrial design.
Our approach to teaching computer-aided design (CAD) emphasizes not only the mechanics of software tools but also their potential applications, interrelationships, and role in problem-solving and model planning. We prioritize aligning training with learners’ specific professional needs. Our courses are built on a core curriculum where each tool is thoroughly explained, accompanied by practical exercises and expert tips. Following each modeling module, learners engage in industry-specific exercises to apply their skills in contexts relevant to their fields.
In addition to the core curriculum, we offer specialized modules focusing on specific modeling techniques or tailored to industries, such as digital setting for jewellers. These modules allow for customized course outcomes to meet diverse learner objectives.
