3dm file format, and is highly compatible with many popular 3D formats including DWG/DXF, IGES, STEP, STL, and many more. Rhino is used for CAD, CAM, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and reverse engineering across many design disciplines including product design, architecture, and industrial design. The release of Rhino 7 introduced Subdivision Surface Modelling (SubD).


Rhino geometry is based on NURBS, which focuses on producing precise mathematical curves and freeform surfaces, as opposed to polygon mesh-based modelling also commonly found in 3D applications. Rhinoceros, commonly known as Rhino or Rhino3D, is a professional 3D CAD program for Windows and Mac developed by Robert McNeel & Associates.
