educational labs & classrooms
Introduction
For all and every school we provide the necessary licenses for a successful and positive educational curriculum. Around Rhino 6 for Win & Mac, a vast amount of planets is encircling the 3D star – The Rhino Universe.
Within this Rhino universe, we offer basic tools, and plugins for a wide range of specific tasks, and state-of-the-art hardware, to – eventually – produce real-life objects:
- Lasers (cutting/model making – engraving – marking)
- 3D printers
- 3D Scanners
To be an effective designer today, you need tools to quickly develop your designs and accurately communicate them to everyone in product research, development, education, marketing, manufacturing or construction chain.
Start with a sketch, drawing, physical model, scan data, or only an idea – Rhino 8 provides the tools to accurately model and document your designs ready for rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing or construction.
Rhino 8 can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS* curves, surfaces, and solids, point clouds, and polygon meshes. There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size beyond those of your hardware.
Rhino 8 includes Grasshopper, the visual programmer

Animation for designers: Bongo – simple, integrated animation for Rhino 7. Just drag and drop to create animations in Rhino, so you won’t lose valuable time changing programs. You get your preview inside Rhino, in real time, in any shading mode. You can render to video using any compatible renderer, like Bella Render.
Bongo has a zoomable timeline and the new curve editor gives you great control over your animations. You can control many parameters with the state-of-the-art keyframe editor. You can create architectural animations, or create mechanical systems animations with the IK engine. Bongo provides you with lots of practical functionality.
Bongo is available as a 30-seat LAB license

For designers who are exploring new shapes using generative algorithms, Grasshopper® inside Rhino 8 is the right tool. It is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3D modeling tools. Unlike RhinoScript, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows designers to build form generators from the simple to the awe-inspiring.
The visual programming language was developed by David Rutten at Robert McNeel & Associates. Programs are created by dragging components onto a canvas. The outputs to these components are then connected to the inputs of subsequent components.

30-user license to use RhinoArtisan on the computers in a single classroom or lab. A network is not needed.
Or, a 30-user floating network license. A network server and the Zoo or internet access to the Cloud Zoo is required.
For educational institutions only (proof of status required).

For university students and individual staff/faculty, we offer the Educational license for 50€ (less any promotional discounts at the time of purchase). Like the standard Seat license, it is a floating, permanent license, which authorizes use of Bella plugins/GUI/CLI on one machine at any given time.
Mesh2Surface streamlines and optimizes converting scanned data into a perfect NURBS model. The tools available are: Fit basic primitives; Revolved and extruded surfaces; Advanced editing of profile for revolved and extruded surfaces; Segment meshes based on fillet areas; Measure the fillet radius; Constraint extracted shapes; Find the symmetry of the object; Align an object to the world coordinate system; Build best fit free form surface from part of the mesh; Create curve based free form surface; Deviation Analyzer. Mesh2Surface does it all.

RhinoResurf for Rhino, a reverse engineering tool that gives Rhino the ability to reconstruct NURBS surface(s) from mesh or point cloud with specified precision.
RhinoResurf also provide features for free-form surface modeling from polygon lines or meshes.
RhinoResurf is designed in a way that the plugin is very user friendly, and easy to understand. Once loaded manually on first use, it will automatically load itself into the Rhino environment later. The new commands will be added to Rhino’s existing commands, and a new submenu called RhinoResurf will be created.
