From Shoe Lasts to Printed Molds: An Evolving Rhino Workflow in Footwear

René Medel’s work offers a view of how Rhino workflows in footwear have expanded from modeling lasts and soles to generating internal structures and designing production tooling. Light Tube Foam Sole brings those methods together in a 3D-printed mold developed at framas.

Ceramic Craft and Digital Fabrication at Hotel Thompson Sevilla

A 50 m² ceramic lattice for Hotel Thompson Sevilla uses Rhino and Grasshopper to connect image-based geometry mapping, custom G-code generation, clay 3D printing, and a carefully coordinated on-site assembly process.

Getting to know Notilus Piping: Piping and HVAC design in Rhino

Notilus Piping is a 3D piping and HVAC plugin for Rhino 7 and 8, used by yards and design offices to model every system on board on the same model as the hull and structure.

Draw a pipeline directly or convert existing lines into pipes with elbows and segments, drop in valves and fittings, and let the bill of materials, weights and spool drawings follow the model as the design changes.

Key features

• Draw pipelines or convert lines and polylines into pipes
• HVAC ducts, cable trays, and hoses modeled with the same tools
• Valves, flanges, reducers,and fittings that snap to pipe size and spec
• Equipment library with exact dimensions and inlet/outlet positions, all information in one place
• Automatic penetrations against the surrounding structure
• Live bill of materials, pipe and fluid weight with center of gravity
• Spool drawings with dimensions and component lists

From mega yachts, workboats and ships to small boats plumbed with hoses, it covers fuel, ballast, bilge, urea, seawater, and HVAC systems.

Notilus Piping works with Rhino 7 and 8 for Windows. A 15-day evaluation license is available.
