Why choose RhinoArtisan?

RhinoArtisan is the next generation of 3D CAD software for jewelry from the creator of RhinoGold. Enjoy Rhino with the cutting-edge features from RhinoArtisan.

Tools entirely focused on jewelry design From the founder and product manager of RhinoGold, Rafael del Molino, and 2Shapes team, the new RhinoArtisan is the most intuitive jewelry design and fabrication software on the market. RhinoArtisan aims to solve all the design needs we have learned over the past 15 years, helping jewelers from all over the world.

	Parametric friendly and lighter than ever One of the most powerful features is the intuitive parametric. It allows you to change any property of your design, from finger size, gem, profile, including the thickness of prong. For RhinoArtisan, simplicity is a must; for that reason, you don’t need to worry about complexities and focus on the results, the perfect design!

User Interface made with love The user interface has been created to help the designer modelling in the easiest, most agile, and comfortable way. Therefore, all the commands offer real-time preview and Gumball to adjust visually and numeric fields to work accurately. Dark or Light UI? RhinoArtisan offers both by default but create any style you want. What about Rhino UI? Of course, RhinoArtisan works in Rhino UI.

	3D Organic Modeling Organic modeling gives jewelers the tools to build beautifully and uniquely structured custom designs and push design boundaries even further. By using Sub-D technology, designers can pull, twist and bend like you would a piece of clay.

Photographs of your designs that will dazzle your clients We know how important it is to create the “WOW” that our customers seek. That’s why RhinoArtisan automatically makes for every design multiple photos to share with your customers in the store or on social media.

	Hundreds of ready-to-use designs It includes hundreds of ready-to-use designs to be productive from day one. And you can also create your own designs from scratch and create your collections in your own style.

Your production is just around the corner We believe in proximity products and their importance for our planet; that’s why RhinoArtisan is an open system and compatible with all printing systems thanks to its export in STL. This will allow you to produce wherever you want, even around the corner.
