3D Graphics and CAD/CAM Solutions - Rhinoceros
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. Rhino also supports polygon meshes.
Special features include:
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.
Accuracy needed to design, prototype, engineer, 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.
Fast, even on an ordinary laptop computer. No special hardware is needed.
Affordable. Ordinary hardware. Short learning. Priced like other Windows software. No maintenance fees.
Additional software required: Direct support for digitizing is provided in Rhino. For Rhino 3.0, SR1 is needed. This patch is available from the Rhino site at: www.rhino3d.com
Manufacturer:
Robert McNeel & Associates in Seattle, WA.

 Digitizing interfaces for Rhino:
HighRES ADVANCED for Rhino
Additional software required: A valid seat of
Rhino 4 plus HighRES ADVANCED or HighRES INDUSTRIAL
Manufacturer: HighRES,
Inc. (www.reverse-it.com) of La Jolla, California
Key features:
- Used as a 3D modeling tool
to capture physical surface geometry and create computer generated
wireframe parts, molds or models of complex organic shapes.
- 3D Track & Inspect
including X, Y, Z cursor inspect. Create 3D features as Points, Open
Polyline, Closed Polyline, Open Spline, or Closed Spline or Open
Spline 2 Point. Points are automatically displayed.
- Integrated HighRES
toolbar resides direct and inside of Rhino.
- View your data collection
on screen and in RealTime during your digitizing session. All Rhino
features are active and interact with the HighRES digitized entities.
- All
files are as a "true" native
Rhino part file eliminating data translation issues.
Platforms: Windows 2000/XP
Supported file formats: Not applicable. Data
is created natively in Rhino

HighRES Feature PLUS 2
(Added -Value Module)
Additional
software required: A valid seat of Rhino 4 plus HighRES ADVANCED
or HighRES INDUSTRIAL
Manufacturer: HighRES,
Inc. (www.reverse-it.com) of La Jolla, California
Key features:
- This reverse engineering added-value power module for
the Rhino is a powerful "snap & map" large
object plug-in for ADVANCED and INDUSTRIAL.
- This plug-in offers a
superior mapping matrix that simplifies the scanning and data acquisition
of large molds, models or parts. This module automates your "leap
frog" exercise
as you digitize and move around large parts.
- No more limitations
due to the large size of your digitized object or limitations due
to the limited size of your portable CMM. HighRES Feature PLUS 2
allows you to move the digitizer as you go and the software will
automatically "snap & map" the
sections together after locking back on to your new position on the
part.
- Your pre-set co-ordinate setting moves with you and can increase
digitizing productivity up to 30%.
- All files save as "true" native
Rhino part file eliminating data translation issues.
