Introduction to Rhino 3D Modeling
Rhino is a powerful 3D modeling tool used in computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), rapid prototyping, 3D printing and reverse engineering for a wide range of applications including architecture, industrial design, product design, exhibition design, sculpture, and jewelry design. This workshop will cover the key the commands and tools in the Rhino interface including the Properties panel and gumball. Key tools and techniques will be covered such as workflows, selecting objects, organizing a project using layers, drawing using 2D geometry, and basic transformations.
