Rhinoceros 8 CAD software is integral to me

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Rhino 8 from other similar products?

The Rhino 8 modeling engine is my go-to for when I am using the MatrixGold plugin by Gemvision to create custom jewelry. Software integration is very important to my workflow. Rhino is pretty fast, making it faster than most CAD software.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Rhino 8 is that I can depend on it to create sophistocated or difficult models that appear organic. There are many tools within the engine that allow me full creative flexibility and I know my jewelry designs will come out exactly the way I want them to.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The price is the only downfall at almost $6k, but you get what you pay for. As a work tool, it is an important business expense. Professional tools are pricy.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Buy the product even if it seems challening at first, there is so much free training available online. If you are looking for the fastest way to design jewelry and have it casted properly, Rhino 8 is the only choice.
