Symvol™ for Rhino - Community Version, a plugin to the Rhinoceros® 3D modeling system, is a volume-based modeling extension for the creation of both organic and mechanical objects that are always watertight and ideal for 3D printing.

Symvol features:

  • Fast and dynamic form finding (dynamically change any underlying form at anytime)
  • Always watertight
  • Advanced micro-structures
  • Symbolic modeling (hyper-parametrization)
  • Direct surface and volume deformation (by control points)

 

Symvol™ is a volumetric modeling system which makes using it more like working with a malleable material, such as clay or metal, as opposed to existing modeling systems which seem more like working with a collection of paper sheets glued together. With Symvol, whatever is done during modeling, the volume created is always a valid solid object - never any cracks and other surface issues.

TRY IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT. If you want to try Symvol Community before buying it, download our free Maker version. For 60 days it offers most of the same features as Community, with some limitations to the size of meshes and access to support (see the Comparison Chart for more on the differences).
