Still Exploring Rhino 8? 👉 5 Things You Might’ve Missed

1. Still using an old license?

With a single upgrade and skipping versions, you get access to all the improvements accumulated since your current version. Differently to most other similar software programs, Rhino 8 remains a one-time purchase, with no subscriptions.

2. Thinking about a new Mac? Here’s something to know

Rhino 8 for Mac is optimized for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, delivering up to 24x faster performance with Metal graphics. The new Cycles Render Engine speeds up rendering, and customizable Window Layouts improve workflow. This version will work seamlessly with your new computer for years to come.

3. Rhino 8 is perfect for fabricators and 3D printing

The new ShrinkWrap tool creates watertight meshes from meshes, NURBS, SubD, and point clouds, ideal for 3D printing, fixing geometry, and shelling. Plus, NestedClippingDrawings lets you easily extract sections or slices for laser cutting, CNC routing, or 3D printing, streamlining your fabrication process.

4. Grasshopper, Enhanced

The new Content Cache component lets you bake Grasshopper geometry while keeping it linked to your Grasshopper definition. When you update the Content Cache, it automatically updates the baked geometry, along with any parts of it referenced elsewhere in your Grasshopper document.

5. Now’s the time to explore the full power of Rhino 8

Popular plugins like Ladybug, Lunchbox, Pufferfish, xNurbs, VisualARQ, Lands Design, Intact.Simulation, and Rhino Artisan are already optimized, adding even more reasons to upgrade your workflows.

6. Okay, we said 5 reasons, but honestly, that’s just not enough

Rhino 8 users get exclusive access to test experimental features like Elmo, a new command for rebuilding curves, and enhanced tools like FillSrf now with real-time previews.
