Extend your Rhino 3D workflow with specialist tools for marine design, architecture, landscape design, engineering, surface modelling, CNC manufacturing, animation and jewellery. Explore the software overviews below to see what each tool can contribute to your work.

Marine and Naval Architecture

Nemo

Marine design tools for Rhino and Grasshopper, connecting parametric vessel development with sections, hydrostatics and further analysis options.

Architecture, BIM and Landscape Design

VisualARQ

Architectural BIM objects, Grasshopper-driven styles, model-linked documentation, quantity reports and IFC exchange within Rhino.

LandsDesign and RhinoLands

Terrain, planting, hardscape, irrigation layouts and landscape documentation. LandsDesign extends an existing Rhino setup; RhinoLands includes Rhino and the landscape toolset.

Savanna3D

An editable architectural model library for furnishing spaces, adding fixtures and developing presentation scenes in Rhino.

Engineering and Structural Workflows

Geometry Gym

BIM authoring and structural-data connections for Rhino and Grasshopper, including IFC and application-specific exchange workflows.

Karamba3D

Parametric structural analysis within Grasshopper for exploring frames, trusses and shells, with results and optimisation connected to the design definition.

Standalone Surface Modelling

MoI3D

A standalone NURBS modeller that complements Rhino through 3DM exchange, with curve-led construction, Booleans and controlled polygon export.

CAM and CNC Manufacturing

madCAM

CNC toolpath generation in Rhino, with editions spanning three-axis machining through rotary, indexed and advanced simultaneous five-axis workflows.

Rendering and Animation

Bella Render

Spectral rendering with layered materials and a Rhino-connected workflow for developing lighting, finishes and presentation images.

Bongo

Animation within Rhino using keyframes, object hierarchies, path constraints and inverse kinematics for walkthroughs and moving assemblies.

Jewellery Design

Drakon3D

Parametric jewellery design tools for developing settings, patterns and repeatable designs, with production and presentation workflows.

JewelBeetle

Jewellery builders, gemstone placement, reusable presets, project organisation and integrated Bella rendering.

Individual tools are covered in more depth, with the licence and suitability questions set out per discipline, in the Rhino 3D plugins guide by discipline.
