Introduction to Rhino

Overview

About the course

• If you have never used a 3D drawing tool before you will find Sketchup has a very low learning curve and you will begin to visualise geometries very quickly.

• Once you get familiar with the basic drawing tools you will begin to uncover much more complex and intricate methods and techniques for making 3D objects. This Introduction to Rhino course is offered at the University of the Arts London (UAL).
• We have more than 10 years' experience working with three-dimensional body scanners and have conducted benchmark trials of new systems, evaluated measurement extraction software and supported the continuing development of shape analysis.

• Our INFOOT digital foot scanner uses safe laser technology and moving scan heads to capture 3D data of an individual foot or last. The shape and measurements can then be used in 3D design processes.
• Rhino is a 3D product design application used in footwear design. 3D scans of a digitised last and sketch drawings are imported into Rhino to assist in the process of producing exact 3D models of shoe components.
• Following this, heel unit files designed in Rhino 3D are exported to 3D print a prototype model using a Z Corp additive 3D printer.
• Digital design is the future.
