Rhino is an extremely capable surface modeller used by designers, architects, engineers and manufacturers throughout the world. Put simply, there's nothing to equal Rhino in terms of price and performance.  Equally at home as a stand alone application or as a companion to parametric solid modeling programs, Rhino features uninhibited free-form 3D modeling tools that allow you to accurately model any shape you can imagine.

Rhino can create, edit, analyse and translate NURBS curves, surfaces and solids - there are no limits on complexity, degree or size. Rhino has the accuracy needed to design, prototype, engineer, analyse and manufacture anything from aircraft to jewellery.  Rhino reads and writes data in most industry standard 2D and 3D formats so your designs can be communicated easily and best of all Rhino is priced like ordinary Windows software, can run on ordinary hardware and there are no maintenance fees.

Now with v4, the most significant Rhino release thus far, Rhino has stretched it's lead over the competition. Product designers will love the new variable fillet/blend tools and G-Infinity blending options. Architects and structural engineers will discover that the new 2D layout tools mean that there's less reason to switch to AutoCAD® for 2D reference. The new deformation tools are ideal for jewellers and artists/sculptors and the advanced rendering support and improved workflow will benefit all users.

Rhino can create, edit, analyse, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, and solids in Windows. There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size. Rhino also supports polygon meshes. Special features include:

Uninhibited free-form 3-D modeling tools like those found only in products costing 20 to 50 times more. Model any shape you can imagine.

Accuracy needed to design, prototype, engineer, analyse, and manufacture anything from an airplane to jewellery.

Compatibility with all your other design, drafting, CAM, engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration software.

Read and repair extremely challenging IGES files.

Accessible. So easy to learn and use that you can focus on design and visualization without being distracted by the software.

Fast, even on an ordinary laptop computer. No special hardware is needed.

Affordable. Ordinary hardware. Short learning. Priced like other Windows software. No maintenance fees.
