Rhinoceros plugins for the marine design industry.
Notilus Software began as an internal development effort within Notilus Software Design. Our team needed faster and more reliable ways to handle real marine design work in Rhinoceros — from structural modeling and piping layouts to production drawings and project coordination.
Those tools gradually became a software ecosystem. In 2021, Notilus Software was founded to develop them further and make them available to the wider marine industry.
The Notilus Software ecosystem now includes eleven plugins: Steeler, Composite, Piping, P&ID, Drafting, Clipper, Scheduler, HydroStab, Weight, Mechs and AI Assistant.
Each one is built to solve a clear problem in the marine design process. No unnecessary complexity, no disconnected workflow — just focused tools developed around the way naval architects, engineers and shipyards actually work.
Notilus Software is shaped by real projects, real deadlines and real production requirements. That is why our plugins focus on practical efficiency: reducing repetitive tasks, improving model consistency, supporting documentation and keeping project information under control.
We build software for the marine design industry because we are part of it.
To give marine design teams practical Rhino-based tools that reduce repetitive work, improve control and support production-ready outputs.
A more connected marine design workflow, where modeling, engineering, documentation and production information work together from the same digital environment.
Working European hours from Antalya, attending the industry events that matter — METS Amsterdam, SMM and the Rhino User Meetings.
We participated as a sponsor at the Rhino User Meeting Amsterdam 2025 — a fantastic opportunity to connect with professionals from across marine design, architecture and engineering.
Hosted by McNeel Europe and Fab Foundation Poland — the event exceeded all our expectations.
How Notilus Software plugins step in to streamline the way naval architects and shipyards work inside Rhino 3D.
Notilus Software is part of the Rhinoceros developer ecosystem. We build, distribute and showcase our marine plugins through the same channels naval architects trust.
