Marine & Naval Architecture
Nemo – Marine Design Tools
Nemo is a parametric marine design plugin for Rhino 3D and Grasshopper, engineered for naval architects who leverage computational design for rapid vessel iteration. It provides automated hull generation, ship silhouette extraction, and performance analysis tools.
Orca3D – Naval Architecture
Orca3D is the professional naval architecture solution for Rhino 3D, providing a unified environment for hull design, hydrostatics, stability analysis, and marine engineering. Developed by naval architects for naval architects, it covers the full design process from concept to technical analysis.
Engineering & Surface Modelling
Cyberstrak – Advanced NURBS & Mesh Editing
Cyberstrak is the premier professional modelling and analysis plugin for Rhino 3D, bridging creative concept design and precision industrial engineering. It adds a suite of advanced NURBS and mesh editing commands for class-A surfaces in automotive, product, and aerospace design.
Geometry Gym – BIM & IFC Data Exchange
Geometry Gym is a powerful suite of BIM and structural data exchange tools for Rhino 3D and Grasshopper. It enables architects, structural engineers, and BIM managers to maintain full interoperability with Revit, ArchiCAD, and Tekla via the IFC standard.
Karamba3D – Structural Analysis
Karamba3D is the premier parametric structural engineering tool for Rhino 3D, providing architects and engineers with finite element analysis (FEA) directly within Grasshopper. It enables interactive optimisation of spatial trusses, frames, and shells from the earliest design stages.
xNURBS – Advanced Surface Modelling
xNURBS employs sophisticated energy-minimisation algorithms to solve complex surfacing challenges in Rhino 3D, delivering G1, G2, and G3 continuity surfaces with a single click. Ideal for industrial designers, automotive engineers, and naval architects requiring precise, smooth transitions.
CAM & CNC Manufacturing
madCAM – CNC Milling & CAM Software
madCAM is the definitive professional CAM plugin for Rhino 3D, supporting 3-axis, 4-axis, and simultaneous 5-axis milling. It allows designers and engineers to move directly from 3D modelling to CNC toolpath generation within the Rhino environment — ideal for mould making, jewellery production, and mechanical engineering.
Architecture & Visualisation
Savanna3D – Architectural Block Library
Savanna3D is a comprehensive architectural block library for Rhino 3D with over 1,600 detailed models and parametric components. It transforms Rhino into a dedicated environment for professional interior, exterior, and urban visualisation presentations.
