Rhino3D

Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino) is widely used in marine engineering for its advanced surface modeling capabilities. Naval architects and designers rely on Rhino to create and refine complex hull forms, deck structures, and organic shapes during early-stage vessel design. While not a dedicated shipbuilding platform, Rhino plays an important role in concept development and is often used alongside tools like Delftship and NX with Foran in modern marine workflows.
