Developed and released by Robert McNeel & Associates, Rhinoceros 3D is a computer-aided design platform used to model, render, analyze, animate, and document various surfaces, curves, point clouds, and solids. One distinct feature of Rhino is its non-uniform rational basis splines (NURBS) geometry, a system for translating mathematically precise shapes and objects into 3D models. On a purpose-built BOXX APEXX workstation, NURBS can accurately represent anything from a 2D curve to complex designs.As an open-source platform, you can customize interfaces, commands, and menus. With a range of available plug-ins including AI-powered ones for visualization and rendering that either add to or expand on Rhino capabilities, you can further personalize the application for your specific field.
With precise mathematics informing how curves, meshes, and points are produced, Rhino provides a fast and highly detailed way to create realistic and richly defined models. You can engineer, prototype, and analyze any model from aircraft and automobiles, to structures and industrial facilities. Because modeling is its primary function, Rhino is a frequency-bound application, a key factor to consider when determining your Rhino 3D hardware requirements.
Your Rhino workflow may also rely on EvolveLAB Veras for Rhino, an AI-powered visualization add-on that uses your 3d model geometry as a substrate for creativity and inspiration. In order to accelerate your specific creative workflow, BOXX Rhino recommended hardware includes the performance tuned Intel® Core™ i7 or i9 APEXX S3 workstation, along with the APEXX A3. Contact one of our Rhino performance specialists to custom-configure your ideal workstation.
When presenting models, AEC professionals need a way to render their designs. With Rhino, you’ll have a number of options. For instance, take advantage of any one of the available rendering plug-ins like the ArkoAI cloud rendering tool, export files to a rendering application, or use Rhino Render within the software. Whatever route you choose, be sure that your Rhino recommended hardware is configured to handle both primary modeling functions, as well as rendering workflows. Once again, BOXX recommended Rhino hardware includes the APEXX S3 and APEXX A3 with ample cores for CPU rendering, as well as up to two NVIDIA RTX graphics cards for GPU rendering. Contact one of our Rhino performance specialists to custom-configure your ideal workstation.
"One of the many things that I have learned over the years is that for a system to really work properly, you need good components. BOXX computers are made that way."
"One of the things I tried to explain was you cannot kill a BOXX. That’s the thing. An eight year-old BOXX will still run. It’s a different kind of system."
Our performance specialists can help you find the right workstation purpose-built for your applications and workflow.
It’s important to know where your money goes when purchasing a premium workstation computer, so learn about BOXX solutions and services you won’t find anywhere else.
Every BOXX is accompanied by legendary technical support. Based in the U.S., our experts know BOXX hardware AND your software, so if you encounter an issue, we’ll get you back to work as soon as possible.
