Q&A
- Why use Rhino?

Using Rhino at reasonable cost, I can crate and output the high-quality modeling data.
Rhino has the perfect interface, which I can model freely, and the modeling precision, which I can use as the designing data. Rhino is balanced between both those performances.

- Advantage of using Rhino

With Rhino, I can create a free curved modeling essential for design works. Also, I can create a prototype by RP quickly and easily.
