RhinoCAM & Riverview Hobbies

Blog Categories

Riverview Hobbies, LLC opened for business in 2010 to produce high quality aftermarket poured-resin products for scale modeling kits, an industry worth upwards of 1.5 billion dollars in the US alone, according to the Hobby Manufacturers Association (HMA). Jim Orth, owner/operator of Riverview Hobbies uses Rhino and RhinoCAM to design and program the CNC toolpaths required to machine single and multi-cavity molds for their aftermarket wheel kits. Shown below are toolpaths for the Riverview Hobbies RVH121001 Slotted Mag Wheel Kit designed for the 1/12 Tamiya Datsun 240ZG. We’ll be publishing more details of this project and more from Riverview Hobbies in upcoming weeks so stay with us!
