How to create a professional 3d Model

Florence Design School is provided with Apple computers and the ultimate 3d model software Rhinoceros. With this article we simply aim to introduce this powerful tool.

Rhinoceros is a 3D modelling software specialized for free-form Nurbs which means non uniform rational B-spline. Nurbs is a mathematical model that renders curves and surfaces in computers graphics offering the highest precision in 3D modelling. Rhinoceros is commonly used for our summer courses: car design, interior design to finally build a real model with the rapid prototyping.

For 3D printing in Rhino it is still necessary to create a mesh after the 3D modelling process. Let’s clarify some basic 3D modelling concepts.

– Curve: are basically the points, lines and segments that make up the sketch model.

– Surface: is a plane without thickness created between a group of closed curves.

– Polysurface: is a set of multiple contiguous surfaces that build a volume.

– Solid: is a completely closed and joined polysurface that create the 3D model. It is different from a mesh.
