CAD / CAM Software
CAD/CAM software offers many important benefits when used with CNC machines. The software we provide at CNC innovations Ltd has been tried and tested, and is in use with many of our customers. CADCAM helps to streamlined a manufacturing process and provides many benefits. While there are some considerations, the advantages of using CAD/CAM with CNC machines generally outweigh these concerns for most manufacturing operations.
Rhino 3D CAD 
Rhinoceros (commonly known as Rhino or Rhino3D) is a powerful 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modelling software used primarily for industrial design, architecture, marine design, jewellery design, and automotive design.
Key Features of Rhino 3D CAD
NURBS-based Modelling: Rhino utilizes Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) mathematical models, which allow for precise modelling of complex freeform curves, surfaces, and solids with no limits on complexity or size.
Versatile Modelling Tools: It provides a comprehensive set of tools for creating, editing, analysing, documenting, rendering, animating, and translating 3D models, including curves, surfaces, solids, polygon meshes, and point clouds.
CAD/CAM Integration: Rhino can export models to various CAD, CAM, rendering, and animation software, making it suitable for manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and 3D printing workflows. We recommend RhinoCAM, you will find more information below…
Affordable Pricing: Rhino follows a one-time purchase model with optional version upgrades, making it an affordable option compared to many other high-end CAD software.
In summary, Rhinoceros (Rhino) is a powerful and versatile NURBS-based 3D modelling software widely used in various industries for designing, prototyping, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing purposes, thanks to its accurate modelling capabilities, extensive toolset, and integration with other software and manufacturing processes
RhinoCAM
RhinoCAM is a CAM Software plug-in that runs completely inside of Rhinoceros 7/8 (Windows only).
RhinoCAM-MILL is one of the five modules offered in the RhinoCAM CAM software suite. Combining free-form modeling power of Rhino and the legendary machining capabilities of VisualMILL this module offers an easy to use yet powerful milling solution that is ideal for mold, die & tooling, wood working, rapid-prototyping and general machining. RhinoCAM includes 2-1/2, 3, 4 & 5 axis machining functionality. It comes with hundreds of free post-processors and a post-processor generator to create your own. Priced right for the cost conscious buyer, RhinoCAM-MILL CAM software delivers outstanding value for your investment.
With seamless and complete integration, RhinoCAM acts and feels like you are working with Rhino when generating CNC programs. RhinoCAM is also fully associative to any geometry changes within Rhino.
