Hi, I have come across a thread where someone tells a chap who is using Rhino that hes wasting his time, and should be using Inventor or solidworks for his Lancaster frames etc. [image] 3D Cad Lancaster Bomber Project I wonder if my work would be of interest. I am working my way throug…

Hi Steve, have worked in the Marine and Mechanical industry for many years. Sheet work : laser/plasma/waterjet cutters normally ask for .dxf files as are only working in 2d. Machined work : normally ask for .stp files as they will have their own inhouse CAM software for which machine they are runn…

Clearly said by someone who doesn’t know Rhino well, I would ignore what you linked and keep listening to the great many helpful users on this forum instead.

Yeah, guy does not know what he is talking about, Rhino is perfectly capable of producing acturate 3D models and 2D drawings at any scale and tolerance for production. I’ve used it to engineer tiny ~2mm machined items to 10m high steel structures. No downstream machine or fabrication shops asked me…

its a phenomenon which is found anywhere in us humans. we always want to format and convince others to have the same believes use the same car, use the same software, send others to this and that place for the best meal in town ever no doubts. if you have found Rhino a valuable tool capable of doin…

[image] Steve1: I’m afraid the problem you have is that you are using packages desgined for ‘3D visualisation’ rather than ones for producing 2D manufacturing drawings or being able to download direct to CNC machines etc. This guy is full of s***. You might want to post a response on that fo…

I have never had a problem using Rhino for modelling a Lancaster Bomber :slight_smile: Modelled from 3D Scan data. [Avro Lancaster Rhino3D] [Lancaster_ point cloudjpg] [Lancaster_s]

We’ve been using Rhino to produce our fixtures for 22 years. These days we produce between 80,000 to 90,000 unique details per year, and every one of them was processed through Rhino. Some go to RhinoCAM for toolpaths, while others go to WorkNC or PowerMill. Using Rhino to produce the files for CNC …

Hi. I would kindly like to ask if you also produce 2D parts in SheetMetal which need to later be bend into final shape? If so, I would like to ask HOW you deal with the stretching of the SheetMetal when the design has shifting material thicknesses and must fit with other items produced elsewhere to …

You don’t, you send 3D of what you want to the shop and they rebuild it in SolidWorks or SolidEdge sheetmetal features. Of course the same thing will happen if you made it in Solidworks because sheetmetal production is a black art. It’s a very specialized thing that is irrelevant to this discussion. …

He will change his mind after you send him a link to the forum thread where people post examples of product designs, transportation, machine, marine, architecture, injection moulding, and basically everything from many other industries.
