Rhino 8 – ShrinkWrap by SimplyRhino UK


Simply Rhino UK has created a Rhino 8 video looking at ShrinkWrap.

The new command can create a watertight mesh from surfaces, solids, meshes, SubDs, or any combination of these, whether open or closed. If you have point cloud data, ShrinkWrap can create meshes directly from that, too.

What is ShrinkWrap ideal for?
ShrinkWrap is the tool you could reach for within Rhino 8 to create:
  • Meshes for 3D printing
  • A solid union mesh from multiple objects
  • A solid mesh from 3D scan data fragments
  • Meshes without internal self-intersections
  • Offset meshes for shelling
  • Meshes from point clouds when reverse engineering
  • Valid closed meshes from broken or often hard-to-repair geometry
ShrinkWrap video tutorial
In the video, there is an overview of the command basics. Then, we are taken for a deeper look using specific examples from two real-life projects.
