consumer designer?

[eddykoodoo]

I would like to hire a designer within a consumer electronics company.
in prevalence should draw objects such as headphone cases chargers key usb powerbanks covers etc...
the problem until now I have always turned to external studies and I have no idea that software they used. . .
the designer in question seems very good and with an excellent potential but he wanted to clarify that he uses rhinocerus.so before proceeding and buying the license I would like to know from you if for my purpose is the most used software and does it to my case?
I apologize for the total ignorance but for me rhino is rhino in English more I do not know.

 

[enri]

confirm, it is the most used sw by designers, and also architects.
for engineering and production however perhaps companies use other sw, such as solidworks.
until now how did you do it? exterior design, and interior product design?

 

[PaoloColombani]

Before any consideration, it should be said that the best cad is what you know best to use.
Therefore, if your designer knows how to use rhino, then it is best to use rhino instead of facing a long learning path of another tool. Moreover rhino is widely used in your industry, and given the cost of the license, for you it becomes a must (there are those who buy it also only to make conversions between files).

then you will have all the time to evaluate investments in alternative solutions, for example thinkdesign, and if you just do not have any problem of bubdget also catia or nx.

in your industry it fucks a lot, i.e. it is very used reverse enginnering, so take the most beautiful or sold product you scan it and then change it with the right cad, so I would recommend you powershape that in the last versions has added some excellent tools for reverse.

so that we can develop the issue in this way: he found a good designer, put it to the test, any soft uses, at the end, during the engineering phase is not said that the software that will use the company, as every moldist has its preferences and rhino has the possibility to save in many different formats. I myself use rhino, but then I pass the files to colleagues who rework them in solidworks that, in turn, pass them to different moldists that not always use the same soft. in brackets, I find that even with rhino and some specific plugins, it is possible to design molds (simple magari. ..
I would point out on the human resource (which in cases like these can make a difference, compared to competition) rather than on the instrument.

I fully agree.
about designing rhino molds though I have to tell you that you can only do simple things and without the advantages of a parametric.
therefore longer times (of much) and much more possibility of errors.
However I do not think that the designer will design the molds, it would be long enough if he knew the needs that are in a plastic piece. For example, thicknesses, subsquadri, sformi etc.

Myself is simply an act of the trend of this period, being personally contacted by "invent entrepreneurs" full of ideas but unable to transport them on paper, it goes from those who want to make new coffee machines that resemble others but they are or should be ++++ "better" , to those who want to invent new ways to make\treat various foods in the house + better yet of others:

 

[Tacchia]

you can get there with any 3d software but I think it is very important to use the tool that you think is more intuitive.

so according to me the designer in question is to be indulged, for two reasons the first is the price of rhinoceros the second because he knows how to use it

 

[mariuss.r]

It seems to me that eddykoodoo did not answer a question (made by enri ) that I consider essential to be able to give a correct and targeted advice.

We await confident ... in an answer

 

[giovanni.a]

I fully agree.
about designing rhino molds though I have to tell you that you can only do simple things and without the advantages of a parametric.

I agree. Anyway I saw small prints, multi-prints and simple trolleys, made with rhino....at least so they told me.
As for the designer, I hope he was hired.

 

[TECNOMODEL]

I confirm that they do, I have designed it for 5 years.
But it must be simple stuff, then the time you put on is immensely longer than using a parametric.

not to mention the possibility of error... .

Excuse me, did you find out he's good and has potential... why don't you trust him and let him choose the sw you prefer?

 

[enri]

I suppose, because if you go away, as often happens, you just don't want to do it with a sw "pinco pallino" that doesn't use or know anyone, hence the question read, if rhino was widespread and known.

 

[giovanni.a]

if rhino was widespread and known.

because it is not? I find that many companies that use soft "high range" also buy rhino for the possibility of translation in many formats. In any case the license, if I'm not mistaken, should be transferable.

 

[Tacchia]

but apart from the controversies will never lead to definitive solutions, it should be considered that buying the base i.e. without bongo flamingo etc... etc... rhinoceros costs about 995 € + iva i.e. if the designer goes away after a couple of years the software is nice that shocked

It wasn't a controversy... .
But I would like to know what eddykoodoo has decided and if this debate still makes sense, since we have not read it again.
Good Sunday to all.

 

[Tacchia]

then I humbly apologize to both for misinterpreting the speech of the spread of rhinoceros

 

[enri]

Yes, I was saying that it is widespread, and that it would be a great choice, others, although excellent, use them in a few, although sincerely we do not speak of a mcad, it is simple to move from one to another, maybe it takes a few days.

 

[vmirko]

better risk a license of a thousand euros for rhino rather than a license of any other cad from several thousand euros.

 

[enri]

This is little but it is safe
alternatives, ( features and costs) for the record are formz, moi3d, shark, and recently fusion 360, than from what I read should be free for the first year, but renewable for enterprises that invoice less than 100 thousand dollars, and it is not bad, indeed, direct modeling solidi+nurbs+tsplines, table setting, parameters, assembly, joint and motion studies, render! and however costs little the annual subscription. (others don't come)
