To be an effective designer today, you need tools to quickly develop your
designs and accurately communicate them to everyone in the product research,
development, marketing, and manufacturing or construction process.

Start
with a sketch, drawing, physical model, scan data, or only an idea—Rhino
provides the tools to accurately model and document your designs ready for
rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing or
construction.

Rhino can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate,
and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, and solids with no limits on complexity,
degree, or size. Rhino also supports polygon meshes and point clouds. Rhino
offers:

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

Extreme precision. Design, prototype, engineer, analyze,
document, and manufacture anything of any size no matter how small or how
large.

Unrestricted editing. Revise freely without concern about how you
got there or where you want to go next.

2-D drafting, annotation, and
illustration. In addition, flatten 3-D surfaces into 2-D patterns and drive
laser, plasma, and water jet cutters.

Large project organization. Work
with both large models and large teams.

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

File read and repair. Fix extremely
challenging IGES and mesh files.

Direct connection. Support for wide
variety of 3-D digitizing arms, 3-D scanners, and 3-D
printers.

Customization. Easy-to-use tools let both you and software
developers make Rhino fit your special needs.

Short learning curve. Focus
on design and visualization without being distracted by the
software.

Speed. Even on an ordinary laptop computer Rhino is fast. No
special hardware is required.

Affordability. Ordinary hardware. Short
learning curve. Priced like other Windows software. No maintenance fees.
Worldwide support is included.
