Overview

RhinoMESH

RhinoMESH is a fully integrated, separately purchased, module that runs inside the Rhinoceros 6/7 NURBS modeler. This module offers efficient, easy & automatic tools for cleaning up, reducing, refining and preparing 3D mesh data for downstream applications such as NC machining and 3D Printing. The seamless combination of Rhino’s modeling and extensive file import functionality with RhinoMESH’s data preparation tools enables the user to create clean, precise and water-tight mesh models from almost any input source and any major 3D format.

RhinoMESH is only available on Rhino for Windows. It will not run on the Mac version of Rhino

RhinoMESH was formerly a separate plug-in called Rhino3DPRINT. Now it is a module of RhinoCAM
