Rhino for Industrial Design

Rhino is a powerful ideation tool. It helps designers take an initial sketch or idea and bring it to life. Think of it as the Swiss army knife of Industrial Design. If its main focus is form-finding, it offers tools that help in all steps of the product development process. From concept to detailing, visualization, documentation, analysis and prototyping.

As a design studio or an individual freelance designer, Rhino can serve as your main work instrument or a great companion to your other design tools.

As an Ideation Tool

From 2D to 3D

  • Insert a sketch and start tracing curves over it. Rhino has powerful curve tools that give you quick visual feedback of the 3D shape you’re aiming for.

  • Bring in a reference drawing with dimensions and use precision curves to lay the initial geometry.

  • Use a SubD or NURBS primitive to sculpt your way into your overall 3D shape.

  • Import a scan and reconstruct it
