Better design. Faster to market.

Great designs become great products only when the tool provides the freedom and accuracy to capture those designs.
Rhino is that tool.

Rhino is a playground for your imagination and the workbench where your experiments become masterpieces.
 
With Rhino you'll orchestrate concepts from sketches to styling through engineering and see your mock-ups manufactured without losing a beat.

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.

 Continuity (curvature change matched across a seam.) Most CAD products don’t even have tools to match curvature, let alone do it accurately enough for a discriminating designer. If your application requires smooth free-form surfaces such as airfoils, hydrofoils, lenses, or reflective surfaces, you need these tools found only in Rhino or high-end surface modeling products like CATIA and Alias.

Other things to consider:

• Units. In Rhino the user can specify the units. The units are actually changed and then all calculations are done in those units. In many CAD products, units are only a display attribute. Even though you may have specified millimeters, all of the calculations are actually being done in meters. No big deal. You just move the decimal place over. Wrong! Read on.
• Changing units. Changing units or unit conversions can be one of most commonly overlooked accuracy hazard in CAD/CAM. Most of us might think that converting from imperial units to metric units would introduce some inaccuracy while never giving millimeter to centimeter conversions a thought. Why? Because we think in decimal. But guess what! The computer doesn’t. It is binary (that is base 2, not base 10). That means one or more floating-point multiplies or divides are needed to convert from millimeters to centimeters. The inaccuracies introduced by converting from millimeters to centimeters are the same as those introduced by converting from millimeters to inches.

In summary, Rhino is as accurate or more accurate than any other CAD product on the market today. In addition, Rhino provides tools for setting accuracy and units as well as tools for controlling and evaluating continuity not found in most CAD products. Rhino does not have the limitations found any of the older CAD software.
