2D vs 3D CNC Milling Software: Which One Do You Need?

Choosing between 2D and 3D CNC milling software comes down to the shape of your parts and your budget.

You need 2D CNC milling software when your parts have flat features cut at set depths, and 3D milling software when your parts have curved or sculptured surfaces. Most real parts mix the two, so the practical question is not 2D or 3D, but whether one CNC milling package covers all your needs. The only real way of knowing which is best for you is to gain an understanding of what specific machining operations will be required to manufacture your designs.

RhinoCAM is available in five flavours, ranging in complexity and price. These are Express (XPR), Standard (STD), Expert (EXP), Professional (PRO) and Premium (PRE).

To help you figure out what your milling needs are in terms of software, we have set out below four comprehensive tables of machining operations ranging from 2½ axis to five axis. The fifth table compares other software features.

In each table, the columns to the right inform you as to whether a particular machining operation is supported by the particular variant of our software, be it XPR (Express), STD (Standard), EXP (Expert), PRO (Professional) or PRE (Premium). For pricing in our currency, click in the options menu above.

Design differently.

Your imagination isn't two-dimensional.
Neither should your CAD be.

Imagine…   Explore freely.   Express precisely.

Before there's a model, there's an idea. Something you can see in your head but haven't yet worked out. A shape. A possibility. A problem that needs a different solution.

The designer brings the idea. The process of designing reveals what the idea can become. The software should enable that process without getting in the way.

That's where Rhino comes in.

Contemporary building designed with Rhino

The software doesn't lead.
The idea does.

Good design doesn't always begin with a fully defined solution.

You start with an idea. You test it. You change it. You see something you hadn't seen before.

Rhino gives you a direct way to work with the geometry of your design, so you can develop the idea as you think it through.

Explore an idea far enough, and new possibilities emerge.

The software isn't deciding the destination. It gives you the freedom to discover it.

An idea evolving through exploration, testing, refinement and iteration

Explore freely.

Freeform surface exploration in Rhino

Design is rarely a straight line. You discover something by trying it. Then you change it. Then something else becomes possible.

The process itself becomes part of the discovery.

Express precisely.

Precise complex form developed in Rhino

Exploration is useful when what you discover can become something precise. Rhino brings freedom and accuracy together, retaining the precision needed to measure, communicate, share and make the design.

Freedom to explore. Precision to deliver.

Rhino in your toolkit.

Rhino is a mature, comprehensive design tool that can carry an idea from its first possibility through to precise, finished geometry.

A broad design tool.

Surface, solid, SubD and mesh modelling sit alongside drafting, analysis, documentation and manufacturing tools.

Built around complex form.

Rhino works with complex, freeform shapes as naturally as it works with precise geometry.

Works with your toolkit.

You don't have to abandon specialist tools that already serve a useful part of your workflow.

A companion when needed.

Use Rhino for the whole process or where its particular strengths are most valuable.

Works with the tools you already use.

Rhino supports a remarkably broad range of CAD, 3D, mesh, drawing and manufacturing formats.

  • Bring geometry into Rhino.
  • Develop and refine it.
  • Move it into other tools when required.
  • Keep the tools that work best for you.
CAD file compatibilityBring it in. Work with it. Take it wherever it needs to go.

Whatever you're designing, start with the idea.

Rhino is used across a remarkably broad range of design disciplines.
