It lets you work with 3D models, curves, surfaces, and other geometric objects in Python without needing Rhino itself installed. You can read and write .3dm files, query object properties like bounding boxes, and manipulate geometry programmatically.\n\nThe library is maintained by McNeel (Rhino's creator) and follows RhinoCommon conventions, making it familiar to Rhino scripters. It has no runtime dependencies beyond Python itself, and precompiled wheels are available for modern Python versions on Windows, macOS, and Linux, though installation does pull in compiled bindings.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to work with Rhino 3D models or OpenNURBS geometry in Python. The package is actively maintained, has no external dependencies, supports current Python versions, and carries a permissive MIT license. Medium install friction is typical for compiled bindings and is not a barrier on common platforms. No known vulnerabilities."},"id":"rhino3dm","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rhino3dm","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rhino3dm.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/rhino3dm/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"rhino3dm","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python library based on OpenNURBS with a RhinoCommon style"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":241409,"position":8878,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"8.32.0"}
