Rhino: the most versatile of all 3D modelers
No matter the scale, whenever a model needs to get from your screen to a real, built object, you will find Rhino.

Rhino 8: Charging Forward
Rhino 8 introduces new modelling tools such as ShrinkWrap, major performance gains for Mac users, SubD Creases, PushPull workflows, improved drafting tools, a more customisable user interface, a faster render engine, new Grasshopper data types and more. Explore all the new features in Rhino 8 here.
ShrinkWrap
ShrinkWrap creates a watertight mesh around open or closed meshes, NURBS geometry, SubD, and point clouds.
ShrinkWrap is ideal for creating:
- Meshes for 3D printing.
- A solid union mesh from multiple objects.
- A solid mesh from 3D scan data fragments.
- Meshes without internal self-intersections.
- Offset meshes for shelling.
- Meshes from point clouds when reverse engineering.
- Valid closed meshes from broken or often hard-to-repair geometry.
Modeling Simplified
Rhino 8 introduces new tools that make modelling more intuitive and accessible. By reducing friction in common solid creation and editing tasks, you can stay in a single Perspective view and work more efficiently.
- PushPull – Add or remove volumes from existing geometry using curves for faster solid modelling.
- Gumball – Move, rotate, scale, copy, cut and extrude geometry instantly with a single direct-modelling tool.
- Inset – Offset faces inward on meshes, SubD or polysurfaces to quickly create push-pullable sub-faces.
- Auto CPlanes – Automatically align construction planes to selections for accurate modelling without switching views.
SubD
SubD is designed for rapid exploration of organic forms, enabling designers to create editable, highly accurate geometry. It combines free-form flexibility with precise control for fast, intuitive editing.
- SubD Creases (New in Rhino 8) – Create edges between smooth and sharp for fillet-like detailing.
- Real-time form exploration – Push and pull geometry to shape complex free-form designs instantly.
- Manufacturing-ready accuracy – Convert SubD directly to solid geometry for production.
- Flexible data conversion – Turn mesh or scan data into SubD, with optional conversion to NURBS.
Built for Mac: Metal
Rhino for Mac is now faster on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Powered by Apple’s Metal technology, the new display pipeline delivers hardware-accelerated graphics for smoother performance at high resolutions.
- Fluid navigation – Pan, zoom and orbit complex models smoothly, even with dense geometry, hatches and annotations.
- Major performance gains – Speed improvements of up to 24×, depending on model complexity.
- Faster rendering – Cycles Render Engine now runs on Metal, accelerating raytraced display and Rhino Render.
- Full display support – Metal is supported across all display modes.
System requirements:
Metal requires an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac running macOS Monterey 12.4 or later.
Customize Your Rhino with Plugins & Add-Ons
Extend Rhino with powerful plug-ins and add-on tools designed to solve complex modelling challenges and improve workflow efficiency.
