Rhino 3D - Academic Licence

Rhino 3D gives eligible students, educators and academic staff the full commercial feature set at academic pricing. Work with precise NURBS geometry, meshes and organic SubD forms, and explore parametric design with the included Grasshopper visual programming environment. The same modelling tools support both study and professional work on Windows and Mac.

Rhino’s SubD tools let you shape smooth, organic forms and convert them to NURBS when you need that geometry for subsequent CAD work. This is particularly useful when a design combines freeform surfaces with precise engineering requirements, such as a hull form, enclosure or architectural component. Grasshopper, included with Rhino, is a visual algorithm editor for building parametric relationships and exploring variations without writing code. File exchange supports collaboration with other design and fabrication tools, with STEP and IGES for engineering geometry and DWG and DXF for 2D drawing workflows.

RhinoAI connects compatible AI assistants to your Rhino and Grasshopper document, giving you another way to create and modify geometry, automate repetitive tasks and develop scripts or parametric definitions through natural-language instructions. It complements the modelling tools, with editable geometry that you can inspect and refine yourself. A compatible AI assistant must be configured separately.

This perpetual, single-user academic licence is personal and non-transferable, with commercial work permitted. Current proof of academic status is required.
