Reverse Engineering with T-Splines and Rhino
Deelip Menezes recently set out on a quest. He wanted to create a NURBS model of an object from its mesh representation. After looking at reverse engineering products, a reader suggested T-Splines (an organic modeling plugin for Rhino). Deelip picked up T-Splines and tried it out. Soon after, he discovered that T-Splines can indeed be used to reverse engineer a NURBS model from a mesh.

RhinoMembrane case studies
RhinoMembrane is one of the most powerful form-finding products available today. Using a FEA (Finite Element Analysis) model it is able to relax any mesh into a stressed surface in equilibrium with positive stress fields only. Using sparse matrix strategies any shape from conventional hypar, minimal surfaces and pneumatic cushions can be modeled.
See here two new case studies: Norway Pavilion for the Shangai World Expo 2010 and Radiolaria table.

VSR Shape Analysis 1.0
VSR Shape Analysis is a new plugin for Rhino developed by Virtual Shape Research GmbH. It adds the following functionality to analyze curves and surfaces for deviation and continuity with associativity:
- Dynamic Sectioning (with optional Curvature plot)
- Curve and Surface Matching Analysis (Checks numerically Position, Tangent and Curvature continuity)
- Lightlines (Simulation of Isophotes)
- Deviation (between Curves, Surfaces, and Meshes)
- Curvature on top of Curves and Surfaces
- Analyzed data can be saved across sessions in the Rhino 3DM file. Modifications are associative.
