Rhino3D Software
3D Modeling for Naval Architecture
Rhino3D software is a general-purpose CAD 3D modeler featuring NURBS-based surfaces and SubD modelling. Today, NDAR distributes Rhino3D software as part of our complete naval architecture and marine engineering software portfolio for shipyards, naval architects, designers and offshore companies worldwide.
Rhinoceros provides a vast array of tools to model any geometry, freely and accurately. Furthermore, Rhino3D software helps designers materialize a concept into a fully-defined model, including 2D drafting, rendering and prototyping. In addition, Rhino3D handles curves, surfaces and solids with no limits in complexity, as well as meshes and point clouds.
With the latest Rhino3D version 8 , McNeel introduced SubD geometry. Moreover, SubD is a new geometry type that creates editable, highly accurate shapes. Unlike other geometry types, SubD combines free-form accuracy while still allowing quick editing. As a result, naval architects and marine designers benefit from a more flexible modelling workflow for ship hull design, yacht design and complex marine structures.
Why Choose Rhino3D Software for Naval Architecture?
For naval architects and marine engineers, Rhino3D combines unmatched flexibility with professional-grade precision. Moreover, when paired with marine-specific plugins like Orca3D, ExpressMarine and VisualARQ, Rhino3D software becomes the most versatile design environment for ship design, yacht modeling and offshore structures. Finally, NDAR’s training, support and consulting teams help you deploy and master Rhino3D in your daily naval architecture workflow.
