What You’ll Learn
Class 1: Advanced Design Workflows
Learn to design from references instead of always starting from scratch. We'll cover Ghost Image (import sketches, photos, or scanned templates directly into Shape3D) and Ghost Board (overlay an existing board as a live reference to compare, evolve, or borrow from proven shapes). Each session ends with Q&A — bring your own design challenges.
Class 2: Smart Functions & Advanced Shape Features
Learn to use Shape3D's built-in advanced tools to create complex geometry faster: channels (single, multi, progressive), advanced tail shapes (swallow, fish, winged), spoon concaves, and beak noses. We'll also cover when to use these tools, when not to, and how to refine presets into something that looks fully custom.
Class 3: Design Review & Real-World Examples
See how the tools from Class 1 and 2 translate into real production boards — we'll walk through designs from different shapers and break down the decisions behind them. Then it's your turn: bring a design you've been working on and we'll review it together, answer remaining questions, and make sure you leave with a shape that's ready and a process that makes sense.
