Yes, the body, chassis and suspension design were all made with Rhino. However, the body of the actual prototype was redesigned by hand numerous times by other people, so it’s more angular than the original intent, for which I closely followed the sketches and instructions of the company’s owner who wanted a smooth body inspired by the F1 cars.
I spotted Rhino while watching a how F1 Racing Helmets are made video:

E1 series vídeo, Rhino spotted at 3 minutes and 30. When they are speaking about the hydrofoil design.
Sure looks like it. I have two companies here as clients who sell laser engraving machines for the moldmaking industry and they both use Rhino with a custom-made plug-in to run their machines.

Not to worry anyone but it looks like Rhino has escaped to the outside and taken control of a very large 3d concrete printing robot in central london!
See video of it in action here
Looks to be Innocrete3d
Very cool indeed!
I have just purchased a Gweike Cloud co2 laser, the RF metal tube version, really good machine, and I have recently seen this mutli process machine being pushed by Gweike, nice to see it being designed in Rhino
I am on the process to buy this C02 and Fiber laser machine. It seems a bit risky but also promising. Gweike seems a serious company.
Gweike have been building/designing lasers to industry for about 20 years, so not new comers. And yes this new multi-function machine has gained a lot of traction online with lots of interest. They are definitely serious players, its a Chinese company, they do business in different ways, not that this is a bad thing either. Hope it goes well for you when you get hold of one, maybe post some of your creations on here ![]()
Designed in Rhino/Grasshopper.
It’s a 3D curved surface sliced into individual layers. I used various attractors based on depth, position, and fade-out toward the edges to create fractured glass edges. The structure is made from special flat glass, hand-cut, with over 2,500 panels stacked on top of each other. The total glass weight is around 17 tonnes.
The 3D model took about 15 minutes to compute. I used Pancake to export all the drawings - kudos to the developers!

@brian did you see this?
Not only did I see it, I saw the prototype at Lasvit in Prague, and have a picture of @DavidRutten in front of it ![]()
Beautiful work @DanielK1 and Lasvit team!
i guess that would be something people would be curious to see, after all he is more like a hidden bozo to the public, the hidden gem no one ever saw.
so lets finally see the man!
we would but he does not show up on film… ![]()
he’s more of like…an energy field…or a warm beam of light.
kidding, he’s delightful and quite human, I don’t have any pics of him myself, but this is his blog-
and our wiki for him
