Rhinoceros®
(Rhino3D) |
|
Start with a sketch, drawing,
physical model, or only an idea Rhino provides the tools
to accurately model your designs ready for rendering, animation,
drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing. Rhino can
create, edit, analyze, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces,
and solids in Windows. There are no limits on complexity, degree
or size.
|
|
- NURBS
Rhino3D uses NURBS.
Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) are mathematical representations
that can accurately define any shape from a simple 2-D line,
circle, arc, or box to the most complex 3-D free-form organic
surface or solid. Because of their flexibility and accuracy,
NURBS models can be used in any process from illustration and
animation to manufacturing.
|
- Reknown
Rhino3D is reknown for its intuitive method of operation, feature
rich tool set and exceptional file translation ability..
File formats supported: DWG/DXF(AutoCAD 200x, 14, 13,
and 12 ), SAT (ACIS), X_T (Parasolid), 3DS, LWO, STL, OBJ, AI,

|
- Rhino3D is the base modeller
on which you can plug in "Flamingo" photo realistic
renderer, "Penguin" non-photoreal renderer and "Bongo"
animation creation and dozens of 3RD party applications and visualisation
tools.
|
- Whilst Rhino3D
is not designed to be a 2D drafting tool to produce drawings,
it is a powerful 3D modeller that will export models and views
to your favourite CAD software such as RealCAD or AutoCAD for
production drafting.
|
- 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.
|

analyze, and manufacture anything from an airplane to jewelry.
|
- 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.

A
photograph shows the watch in a switched-on condition. Actually,
the watch does have that appearance when both the upper and lower
shells are simultaneously in contact with the skin. Upon contact
with only one face, the display is switched off (can be worn
as an amulet); it remains also switched off when in contact with
other materials (e.g. fabrics). |

Snow Hawk by A.D.BOIVIN
DESIGN
Aimed at the 16-40 year old who seeks a
new, exciting and physically demanding sport. Driving a Snow
Hawk feels like a cross between a dirt-bike and a jet ski.
Supple, agile, and lightweight.
Body parts were modeled in Rhino by Instadesign based
on a design of Jérôme Foy Design. The initial
shape comes from a full-scale scanned clay model. Surfaces were
then created in Rhino including all assembly details for high
quality fit and finish as well as molding requirements. The Rhino
files were sent directly to milling for production tooling. |

The
Turin design studio 3search,
presents a 1:4 scale model of the NURB; a performance
sports coupé (4390 mm long, 1940 mm wide, 2820 mm wheelbase).
The car is design to take a V12 engine at the rear under a transparent
polycarbonate lid with the cabin pushed well forward. Door mirrors
and handles have been eliminated in favour of videocams and fingerprint
scannersthat make for a cleaner line and a better drag coefficient. |

"This was the first project in which
Rhino was used for surface modeling. It was introduced at this
stage because of its excellent relationship between cost and
benefit.
The software is easy to learn and use,
and your requirements of hardware are very small when compared
to other similar software applications." said Herman Zonis,
Industrial Designer, and Rhino user since the first version. |

Philips Integris Allura
Since its introduction in December 2000, Philips Integris
Allura has become the new worldwide standard for cardio-vascular
imaging. The design is based on an innovative mechanical solution,
created by Philips Design and Philips Medical Systems, is open
and accessible for both patient and operators - while retaining
its predecessor's range of movement. Integris Allura has won
several awards including a 2001 IF award for good industrial
design.
The Integris Allura system was Philips
Design's first project using Rhino. Philips Design chose
Rhino to replace two other, more expensive, CAD systems because
it is easier to use, faster, runs on a desktop PC, and delivers
functions that other surface modelers lack.

New Ford Dealership Signs
"When Ford was looking for a new image to replace the sign
they've had since the 1960s, they asked us to submit some concepts.
Mine was chosen. It was entirely created with Rhino. The details
were hammered out over the next three months, with a lot of input
from Steve Gillespie at Ford and Tom Fry at Zimmerman. Almost
daily design modifications were made with Rhino, rendered in
MAX and e-mailed to Detroit for approval. The design was finally
finished and approved by the guys at Ford and my data was sent
to Pro/E for the actual production models. A real 130 square
ft. prototype was built and installed in Las Vegas in May. It
was a big hit and now the Zimmerman factories are gearing up
for production of thousands of these signs. Eventually, every
Ford sign in the world will be replaced with one of these new
ones. This really couldn't have happened without Rhinoceros."
