Strategic partnership leverages deep Rhino expertise to help design professionals extend capabilities through custom plugin development, file format integration, and Rhino.Inside implementations
4D Pipeline, a leading provider of 3D integration solutions, has joined McNeel's Rhino Integration Technology Partner program and is now listed in the Food4Rhino services directory. Food4Rhino is McNeel's official community marketplace where Rhino and Grasshopper users discover plugins, add-ons, scripts, and professional services to extend their workflows.
This partnership formalizes 4D Pipeline's longstanding expertise in extending Rhino's capabilities for enterprise design workflows across architecture, product design, and manufacturing.
As an Integration Technology Partner, 4D Pipeline offers consulting, customization, and implementation services that extend Rhino's native capabilities through custom plugin and Grasshopper component development, connect Rhino workflows with the broader 3D ecosystem through file format importers and exporters, and integrate Rhino's geometry engine into other applications via Rhino.Inside and Rhino Compute implementations.
The partnership builds on over a decade of 4D Pipeline's work with Rhino integrations, including developing the Rhino 3D Datasmith importer for Epic Games' Unreal Engine, integrating NVIDIA Iray directly into Rhino 3D, Grasshopper automation connecting Adobe Illustrator to parametric footwear design for Adidas, and extensive experience in 3D integration and plugin support.
"McNeel has built one of the most extensible 3D platforms in the industry, and our team has spent years working at the intersection of Rhino and enterprise workflows," said Jed Fisher, Managing Partner at 4D Pipeline. "This partnership lets us bring that experience directly to organizations looking to push Rhino beyond its out-of-the-box capabilities."
"From Rhino.Inside implementations to custom Grasshopper automation to file format support (USD, IFC, etc), we help organizations connect Rhino to their broader 3D pipelines," said Tyler Worden, Managing Partner at 4D Pipeline.
