Rhino is an exceptionally versatile tool. It's usefulness spans from generating quick idea sketches to building Illustrator paths that would take much longer to build in the native program to full blown 3D models ready for rendering and tooling build....

Rhinoceros is spectacular at making uninhibited, free form surface models. However, it lacks structure in the way it "assembles" parts. Also, because it's intended for modeling surfaces, It can sometimes be difficult to create a solid object. Often times,...

nTop is a critical tool for designers looking to push the boundaries of additive manufacturing technologies. It allows you to take base CAD from your favorite modeling software and create extremely complex geometries that would break traditional software....
