Introduction to 3D Modeling with Rhino

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 hands-on 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.

Topics Covered

• Understanding 3D terminology
• Navigating the viewport
• Manipulating objects with commands
• Creating curves, surfaces, and solids
• Performing transformations
• Making solids with primitives
• Extruding curves
• Snapping to objects and planes
• Trimming, splitting, rotating, and duplicating objects
• Working with NURBS 
• Preparing Models for 3D Printing

NOTES
Bring your own laptop with any version of the software installed. Each student works on their own laptop with course materials provided by the instructor at the start of class. Two-button mouse with trackball is recommended.
