What is Rhinoceros 3D?
Rhinoceros, commonly called Rhino, is a NURBS-based 3D modeling application from Robert McNeel and Associates used in architecture, industrial design, jewelry, marine design, and manufacturing. It creates and edits curves, surfaces, solids, SubD meshes, and point clouds with mathematically precise geometry, and supports more than 30 CAD file formats for import and export, making it a common hub between different design tools.
Rhino includes Grasshopper, a visual programming environment for parametric and algorithmic design, along with a built-in renderer for presentation-quality images. Unlike most competing CAD packages, Rhino is sold as a perpetual license rather than a subscription, so a single purchase includes support and updates for that version with no recurring maintenance fee.
