Our goal is to provide students
and educators a powerful 3-D tool to explore, develop, and communicate
ideas and designs. The software is only part of what makes Rhino that
tool. To support your efforts we have assembled the following additional
resources.

Strategy
Our strategy is to:
Focus on education
by surrounding Rhino with everything you need to enrich your learning
environment.
Extend 2-D curriculum
into 3-D by providing a product that is easy to learn and use,
training materials, online and telephone support, training for teachers,
conferences, and books.
Remove software training
from design curriculum by making 3-D so easy that students and educators
can concentrate on learning design, problem solving, and communications
skills instead of software commands.
Complement your
current CAD/CAM/CAE, multimedia, rapid prototyping, and 3-D digitizing
products so that none are lost, replaced, or excluded. Rhino should only
enhance every learning situation.
Bring the power of
high-end NURBS modeling technology to students and educators by
running on ordinary Windows 98/ME/NT/XP PCs and being affordable.
Support
We support Rhino directly. If
you or your students have any problems with Rhino, please contact us for
help. Please do not waste time supporting Rhino yourself.
