Ennoble Enhanced: New Swarovski Zirconia Gemstone Library, Plus Prong & Cutter Builders for Rhino 5 & 6

• Drag & Drop Placement of over 1200 geometries (cut & size variations) from the Swarovski digital component catalogs, for NURBS (curves, polysurfaces, solids), subdivision surfaces and polygon meshes
• Real-time Updates, both in terms of the software (rolling updates for active subscribers) and new Swarovski collections (e.g. seasonal launches)
• Prongs, both aesthetic as well as functional
• Pavé for curves and surfaces / mesh geometries, such as spray-on brushes as well as color and texture based circle packing modifiers
• Cavity Creation and geometry optimizations for product visualization, rapid prototyping, and metal production
• Cutter Builder primarily for gemstone settings, e.g. fine jewelry applications
• Cup Mesh structural creation allows to transform designs into production-ready, self-sustaining geometric structures with accurate cavity settings, inspired by and ideal for 3D Printing
• Bill of Materials of utilized Swarovski components automatically compiled for export

Pompano Beach High School’s SeaPerch club ROVs

Pompano Beach High School’s SeaPerch club is an award-winning underwater robotics club. This club was first introduced to the school by Club President Maria Ilonta in 2016. They started out building ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) mostly with 1 inch PVC pipe and pool noodles. As they progressed in their knowledge of Rhino, which is offered in a class at the school, they realized they could design faster, hydrodynamic, lightweight, buoyant models using the software. 

The team started using Rhino to design new models. They’ve built countess parts pieces and even whole models for these underwater ROVs. Their models were customized and eventually 3D printed. They started placing top in every local competition and got qualified and sent teams with 3D printed ROVs to nationals in Atlanta, Georgia (2017), internationals in Dartmouth, Massachusetts (2018), and internationals in Washington, D.C. (2019).
