Learn how to model a continuous Cuban link ring in Rhino 3D while keeping the finished ring as close as possible to the correct size.
Unlike a smooth ring band, a chain-style ring contains raised links, low areas, and open spaces that affect how the ring fits. In this jewelry CAD tutorial, PJ Chen explains how to compensate for these areas without completely flattening the inside of the ring.
You’ll learn how to create and rebuild the original link curve, use Blend Curve, adjust the lowest points, calculate the pattern length, flow the links around the ring, and close the bottom of the model.
