Design
differently.

Your imagination isn't two-dimensional.
Your CAD shouldn't be either.

Imagine…   Explore freely.   Express precisely.

Before there's a model, there's an idea. Something you can see in your head but haven't yet worked out. A shape. A possibility. A problem that needs a different solution.

The designer brings the idea. The process of designing reveals what the idea can become. The software should enable that process without getting in the way.

That's where Rhino comes in.

The software doesn't lead.
The idea does.

Good design doesn't always begin with a fully defined solution.

You start with an idea. You test it. You change it. You see something you hadn't seen before.

Rhino gives you a direct way to work with the geometry of your design, so you can develop the idea as you think it through.

Explore an idea far enough, and new possibilities emerge.

The software isn't deciding the destination.

It gives you the freedom to discover it.

Design process: start with a curve, develop a surface, change the form and try something else

Explore freely.

Freeform surface exploration in Rhino

Design is rarely a straight line. You discover something by trying it. Then you change it. Then something else becomes possible.

The process itself becomes part of the discovery.

Express precisely.

Precise complex form developed in Rhino

Exploration is only useful if you can turn what you discover into something precise.

Rhino brings freedom and accuracy together, allowing you to develop complex forms while maintaining the precision needed to measure, communicate, share and make the design.

Freedom to explore.
Precision to deliver.

Rhino in your toolkit.

Rhino is a mature, comprehensive design tool. For many designers, it can provide everything needed to develop a design from the first idea through to precise, finished geometry.

A broad design tool.

Rhino has developed around a powerful core: sophisticated surface modelling for complex, freeform shapes.

Around that core are tools for solid modelling, mesh modelling, drafting, analysis, documentation, manufacturing and more.

Built around complex form.

At its heart, Rhino is a sophisticated surface modeller—built to work with complex, freeform shapes as naturally as it works with precise geometry.

That's the fundamental difference in the way Rhino approaches design.

Designed to work with your toolkit.

You don't have to abandon the tools you already use. If there's a specialist application you prefer for a particular part of your workflow, use it.

Rhino gives you the freedom to choose.

A companion when you need one.

Rhino can be the primary design tool for the whole process. Or it can be the part of your workflow where Rhino's strengths are most useful.

You decide how you use it.

Works with the tools you already use.

Rhino supports a remarkably broad range of CAD, 3D, mesh, drawing and manufacturing file formats.

  • Bring geometry into Rhino.
  • Develop and refine the geometry.
  • Move geometry into other tools when required.
  • Keep the tools that work best for you.
CAD file compatibility

Bring it in. Work with it. Take it wherever it needs to go.

Whatever you're designing, start with the idea.

Rhino is used across a remarkably broad range of design disciplines.

Art and design

Art & design

Create expressive forms that communicate ideas, culture and emotion.

And sometimes, you can
design the rules too.

Computational design

Some design problems can't be solved by drawing the answer directly. Computational design lets you define relationships, rules and possibilities, then explore what those relationships can produce.

Explore an idea far enough, and new possibilities emerge.
