RhinoCAM Standard (STD) 2.0: This plug-in is a general purpose machining program for the general machinist. RhinoCAM includes 2-1/2 axis, 3 Axis and hole making operations. It comes with hundreds of post-processors and a post-processor generator to create user definable post-processors. Packed with sufficiently powerful manufacturing methods this easy to use package is not only effective but also attractively priced for the budget conscious or entry level buyer.

RhinoCAM 2.0 - 4th Axis Module: This Add-On module can be added on to the RhinoCAM STD product. Allows 4th Axis Indexed and continuous roughing and finishing operations in RhinoCAM STD 2.0. Curve based continuous machining such as 4 Axis Facing, Pocketing, Profiling & Engraving as well as surface/solids/meshes based machining such as Roughing, Finishing and Curve Projection machining are available.

RhinoCAM Professional (PRO) 2.0: This powerful pack age is ideal for mold, die and tooling, wood working rapid-prototyping and general machining markets. This product boasts of powerful toolpath generation strategies coupled with tools for efficiently controlling the cutting tool for detailed machining capabilities, while not sacrificing ease of use. Has all the basic functionality as well as additional features suitable for demanding users with sophisticated manufacturing requirements.

NOTE: RhinoCAM 2.0 is a plug-in that is completely integrated in Rhinoceros 4.0* and requires Rhinoceros 4.0 to be installed in order for it to run. It is not a standalone application. Also note that RhinoCAM 2.0 does not include  Rhinoceros 4.0. It will have to be purchased separately.

*Rhinoceros 4.0 is a NURBS based 3D CAD modeler that can be used to create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, and solids and polygon meshes. It supports the following file translators: DWG/DXF (AutoCAD 200x, 14, 13, and 12), IGES, SAT (ACIS), DGN, FBX, X_T (Parasolid), 3DS, LWO, STL, SLC, OBJ, AI, RIB, POV, UDO, VRML, BMP, TGA, CSV (export properties and hydrostatics), uncompressed TIFF, STEP, VDA, GHS, GTS, KML, PLY, SketchUP, SolidWorks.
