Available now with ShrinkWrap, SubD Creases, a Mac speed boost, and more.
Download Rhino 8Rhino 3D (Rhinoceros) is a commercial NURBS and SubD modeling application from Robert McNeel & Associates, used across architecture, product design, jewelry, marine and engineering. The current release, Rhino 8, runs on Windows and macOS and ships with the Grasshopper visual programming environment — try it free for 90 days or buy a perpetual licence.
Unlike subscription CAD tools, Rhino is sold as a one-time perpetual licence with no recurring fee. It reads and writes the open .3dm format and imports and exports DWG/DXF, STEP, IGES, OBJ, STL and dozens of other formats, so it fits into almost any pipeline. Its accuracy and free-form surfacing make it a standard in jewelry, marine, footwear, architecture and industrial design, and a library of more than 1,500 plug-ins on food4Rhino extends it into rendering, animation, engineering analysis and fabrication. This guide covers how to download Rhino 8, start the free trial, check system requirements, compare pricing, and see what is new — with every download and purchase completed on the official rhino3d.com.
Rhino 8 — "Charging Forward" — adds major modeling, Mac and Grasshopper improvements.
Wrap a single watertight mesh around any geometry — ideal for 3D printing.
Native Apple Silicon & Intel with Metal display — a big macOS speed boost.
Add sharp, fillet-like edges to SubD objects without extra control-net complexity.
New PushPull workflow, automatic CPlanes, improved Gumball and Inset.
Rhino 3D is used across design and engineering disciplines that need accurate free-form geometry.
Every copy of Rhino 8 ships with Grasshopper — a visual, node-based programming environment for building parametric and generative models without writing code. In Rhino 8 it works with native Rhino data types, object attributes, annotations and blocks.
