Rhino is a NURBS modeler.

NURBS (Non uniform Rational B splines.)

NURBS is the name for an approach of developing complex surfaces and solids in terms of rectangular surfaces created from simple 2D lines, circles, arc’s and boxes.- The result being a 3D design file.

3D DESIGN FILE

A file that contains not only the likeness of the entity that was designed for presentation purposes, but also the measurement and characteristics to be used directly for machining or rapid prototyping.

RHINO 3D OFFERS SPEED

of  work flow from concept sketch, 3rd party 3D files or scanned model to a rendered or animated presentation, ready for immediate prototyping.

PERSONAL DESIGN STYLE

Is very broadly accommodated with a platform that provides input as curves, surfaces & solids. The created elements can be combined in an additive process or sculpted in a subtractive process.

UNRESTRICTED EDITING

Makes the Rhino modeling platform very popular for the creation of flowing freeform shapes and basic geometric shapes. The designer can freely toggle between engineering precise input of measurement and the liberty of aesthetic choice.

REPAIRING AND READING

hallenging IGES and mesh to create stability between existing 3rd party 3D files and packages.

COMPATIBILITY

with…….. P9 of the users guide says it all!WG/DXF,SAT,PARASOLIDS,3DS,LWO,SC, VET,STL,OBJ.AI,RIB,POV,UDO,VRML,BMP, TGA,JPG,PNG,CSV,TIFF,STEP,VDA,GHS,SLC –also supports polygon meshes and point clouds.

LARGE PROJECTS and large teams can be integrated and managed in Rhino.

FLATTEN 3D SHAPES into 2D patterns for laser, plasma and waterjet cutters.

DRAWINGS can be automatically generated in a variety of formats from 3D elements.

OTHER Mc NEEL PRODUCTS

Integrate seamlessly to create renderings and animations for highly realistic presentation.

3RD PARTY PLUG IN’S  are available for almost any additional application and industry the mind can conceive(more than 300 to date)

Mc NEEL’S USER DEVELOPMENT

approach gives advanced users and developers access to source code and a platform to develop on – even from level two Rhino training developing your own buttons are discussed.

AFFORDABILITY seems to be the cherry on the top.

THE SHORT LEARNING CURVE.

Gives an even impressive and stable early result that gently matures as the need for more complex geometry arises.
