Heath Satow’s sculpture work too:
http://www.publicsculpture.com/portfolio.html
On the combine harvester, all cladding parts (most of the green parts) have been modelled in Rhino. Now that particular project was not that challenging, dashboards are a bit more complicated. Usually, we develop the outer skin which gets imported in whatever software our clients or their engineering partners use.
Any more examples? How about smaller consumer goods or the like?
OMG Harry (assumption) - this is awesome! Nice work.
WOW, there are some fantastic examples here!
Definitely not product design, but this sculpture project gagged Solidworks - Rhino (on the Mac even) to the rescue. I could not have produced this form without Rhino, period.
I have a pretty extensive making of over on my blog.
Thanks Mark! I looked at your website. You have a lot of nice work. “Interwoven” looks like quite a challenge to design and to fabricate.
Thanks everyone. Keep them coming!
How about some examples where Rhino files were used to create injection molded parts?
One of my larger Injection Molding Designs - 100% Rhinoceros 4.0
Thanks denbutler. WIll think of Rhino any time I see some road construction : )
Did you go straight from Rhino to the toolmakers?
Or did you have to use another software in-between?
Looks great! Like the tiles on the rooftops
@CBecks - The toolmaker that made the mold likes step files - in this case.
Another great feature in Rhino - It can export so many file-types.
To me, while I appreciate the use to which Rhino and Grasshopper were put here, it’s one of those just-because-you-can-doesn’t-mean-you-should projects!
yep, impressive, but is it necessary or adding value to the world. Maybe something good will emerge from it in the future, who knows
Pretty much every piece of hardware in this range was designed in Rhino:

And even a video going over the features of various parts:
In the watersports industry Rhino would be most popular 3D modelling tool, followed by Solid Works. There are also a couple of dedicated packages, SurfPlan for kitesurfing kite design and Shape3D for surfboard/SUP/Windsurf board design.

Wait a minute… Do I spot a Solidworks background in that last picture?
Ah - you might be right there - I did the bar ends and centre fitting in Rhino/Tsplines, but another member of the team did an assembly in SW with the tubes.
