Rhino level 1 

Program Overview:

In this course, the Trainer shall get familiar with the use of the common CAD software Rhinoceros3D as a CAD tool. Built on their basic CAD knowledge, Trainers shall learn how to use Rhinoceros3D. The basic knowledge of Rhinoceros will be acquired by remodeling a simple given design. This includes basic functions like various ways of creating freeform-surfaces, using Boolean functions, as well as editing and connecting surfaces and shapes. After acquiring the basic knowledge of NURBS-modeling, the trainers will practice the various tools by transferring previously created simple designs to CAD-files with Rhinoceros3D. For a deeper understanding, the trainers will transfer a more advanced design to Rhinoceros.

Program Goals:

The trainer will be able to:

  1. Understand the interface and essential commands
  2. Recognize Polygon vs. Spline Modeling.
  3. Understand Surface vs. Solid Modeling.
  4. Understand Direct vs. Parametric Modeling.
  5. Understand Technical Drawing with CAD.
  6. Learn how to "Surface" model versus "Solid" model and then combine techniques.
  7. Ability to extract 2d data from complex geometry for further detailing.

Target Audience:

  • Calibers who seek career shift.
  • Beginner designer.

Duration:

18hrs
