The New Holland Combine CX -who has won the "Combine of the Year award"- contains "packaging & interior trim" products that were originally designed in Rhino by EIA Electronics.

In the book, Behind the Mask of Spider-man: The Secrets of the Movie, learn how Rhino was used to develop many of the props for the movie, Spider-man^®.

For details on how Paul Ozzimo modeled the Green Goblin's glider and the Pumpkin Bombs, see pages 115 and 143.

Gonzales may be a mouthful, but at least he's always smiling - and sporting a transparent, high-tech design. He sticks his neck out for anyone who prefers staple goods to getting caught up in sticky business.

Pocket watch
by TO DO TECHNIK & DESIGN

Winner of the Red Dot Award 2001

A photograph shows the watch in a switched-on condition. Actually, the watch does have that appearance when both the upper and lower shells are simultaneously in contact with the skin. Upon contact with only one face, the display is switched off (can be worn as an amulet); it remains also switched off when in contact with other materials (e.g. fabrics).

Aimed at the 16-40 year old who seeks a new, exciting and physically demanding sport. Driving a Snow Hawk™ feels like a cross between a dirt-bike and a jet ski. Supple, agile, and lightweight.

Body parts were modeled in Rhino by Instadesign based on a design of Jérôme Foy Design. The initial shape comes from a full-scale scanned clay model. Surfaces were then created in Rhino including all assembly details for high quality fit and finish as well as molding requirements. The Rhino files were sent directly to milling for production tooling.

The Turin design studio 3search, presents a 1:4 scale model of the NURB; a performance sports coupé (4390 mm long, 1940 mm wide, 2820 mm wheelbase). The car is design to take a V12 engine at the rear under a transparent polycarbonate lid with the cabin pushed well forward. Door mirrors and handles have been eliminated in favour of videocams and fingerprint scannersthat make for a cleaner line and a better drag coefficient.

Elios is a new climbing helmet, designed in Rhino by Inconito and engineered in Pro/E at Petzl.

Inconito is a new design company based on chedal anglay design which was started in 1991. They create all their designs in Rhino in many fields such as electrical-cooking, mountaineering, toys, snowboarding, ski, etc.

"In the highly competitive world of sport optics Smith Sports Optics is supreme. Smith teamed up with Metropolis Design to provide innovative design and amazing prototypes for their ski goggles.

Rhino is a great tool for a firm like Metropolis Design that is constantly working on a variety of projects. It allows us to meet deadlines and produce a quality product for our clients."

Frank Algarin, Metropolis Design

"This was the first project in which Rhino was used for surface modeling. It was introduced at this stage because of its excellent relationship between cost and benefit.

The software is easy to learn and use, and your requirements of hardware are very small when compared to other similar software applications." said Herman Zonis, Industrial Designer, and Rhino user since the first version.

The Blackout by Kershaw Knife Co.

Engineering Design Consultants, Ltd., a Portland-based engineering and design firm, was able to come up with the conception, design and production parts in record time using Rhino. This knife is already a sales sensation and was recently honored as The Blade Magazine's 1999 Best Buy.

Engineering Design Consultants, Ltd., in conjunction with Intel, chose Rhino to design and develop their 'N Touch and 'N Touch II concept computers. The 'N Touch and 'N Touch II function simultaneously as all-in-one wireless Internet connections, viewing stations, laptop computers and desktop PC's.

FARGAS ASS., S.L.

Barcelona's Federico Fargas Texidó's latest project is the Cricursa booth for Batimat 2001, Europe's most important construction exhibition.

Cricursa makes curved glass for important buildings worldwide. They made the curved glass for the Frank Gehry designed Experience Music Project in Seattle and many other stunning architectural designs.

At adidas, Rhino is used in various aspects of product development, from construction of the initial prototype, through revising data for the manufacturing, to rendering pictures for presenting the design concept.

Kestrel’s Talon bicycle
Manufacturing efficiency, faster development, striking visual effect

Talon is a new family of Kestrel bicycle frames developed by IDE Inc. using Rhino 3D. Doug Jones headed up this project, establishing the modeling methodology and developing four of the five frames. Doug was assisted by Jon Moriconi on the fifth frame.

The Integris Allura system was Philips Design's first project using Rhino. Philips Design chose Rhino to replace two other, more expensive, CAD systems because it is easier to use, faster, runs on a desktop PC, and delivers functions that other surface modelers lack.
 

Ford Prodigy Tooling

"Rhino was used to design, develop and make the surface data required to build the Ford Prodigy carbon fiber hood and deck lid. Rhino was also used on other projects for Aston Martin, Ford, and Viper. Rhino is a fantastic package."

Cameron Dempster
Multimatic Inc.

Saleen design consultant, Phil Frank is the first designer to use Rhino's full potential in the exterior development of a true production car.

chaussure de spore
 Coming from the Monsieur FALTAZI collection.

chaussure de spore V 1.1 is the first rain or shine digital shoe made for beach trekking and wind surfing. Made for extra adhesion to rocks.

Made to order.

New Ford Dealership Signs
"When Ford was looking for a new image to replace the sign they've had since the 1960s, they asked us to submit some concepts. Mine was chosen. It was entirely created with Rhino. The details were hammered out over the next three months, with a lot of input from Steve Gillespie at Ford and Tom Fry at Zimmerman. Almost daily design modifications were made with Rhino, rendered in MAX and e-mailed to Detroit for approval. The design was finally finished and approved by the guys at Ford and my data was sent to Pro/E for the actual production models. A real 130 square ft. prototype was built and installed in Las Vegas in May. It was a big hit and now the Zimmerman factories are gearing up for production of thousands of these signs. Eventually, every Ford sign in the world will be replaced with one of these new ones. This really couldn't have happened without Rhinoceros."

Hank Gatewood, the 3-D visualization guy
 at Zimmerman Sign Company

Chichester Scow
"I couldn't be more satisfied with the realization of the designs I create in Rhino! I wonder if you realize what creativity you have unleashed around the world since you created Rhino!"

Kestrel’s airfoil bicycle fork

An airfoil triathlon bicycle fork, designed almost totally in Rhino by Tem Kuechle, IDE industrial designer. The entire form was developed directly in Rhino, wind tunnel tested by Kestrel from a CNC model made from the Rhino model, and finally imported into Pro Engineer for Kestrel's tool maker to manufacture the production tooling.

The entire design in Rhino took only six days including the CNC model!

Design by Tem Kuechle, IDE Inc.

Digital Sculpture in bronze and silver designed in Rhino, rapid prototyped, and then cast into bronze and silver using the lost-wax process.

Toaster for Target

One of hundreds of products by
Michael Graves Design for Target designed in Rhino.

Mostly known for his architectural designs including the Disney headquarters and the World Swan and Dolphin Hotels in Orlando, Michael Graves has also designed products for Alessi, F.A.O. Schwartz. and Steuben.

Built from cross-sections from The Visible Human Project^®. The cross-sections were downloaded from a web site in Switzerland.

Slices were digitized by hand. The surfaces were then lofted or patched.

Electric Fish for neuroethology

Casts using a silicone rubber mold and urethane were marked up with 15 cross-sectional curves. These curves and the dorsal and ventral edges of the fish were used to generate the model in Rhino.

For details visit: Journal of Neuroscience Methods (2000), MacIver, M.A., and Nelson, M.E.
