The following video tutorials are meant to supplement the standard notes from the Matrix classes, whether the DJP level 3 Diploma’s Matrix units, or the Level 3 Jewellery CAD Certificate course.
In some cases, the video tutorials may have been made in an earlier version of Matrix, or may be demonstrated on a different model. If this is the case, don’t worry– all steps have been confirmed to work in the same way in the latest version of the software or on any other test model.
All tutorials below are listed in the chronological order they appear in the DJP Level 3 Course Notes. Holts Academy’s Level 3 Jewellery CAD Certificate also features them in a similar order.
