Here comes the happy couple! And it's time for four top CAD designers to battle it out to create the best possible design for their engagement ring. Designers will have two hours to create a design that meets the customers' specifications. Details of the design will be delivered on the spot. Plus, making the pressure even more intense, all of you will be watching! Each CAD artist will use their own style and method of creating a CAD-designed masterpiece. Judges will also score competitors on their presentations and sales skills. Bench, bench supplies and tools provided by Stuller. Competitors sponsored by Gemvision.
