Parametric design for things that fly and float.

SHAPER.XYZ turns a short parameter file into a complete design: 3D surfaces, flat panels ready to cut, layout drawings and the numbers behind them. Kites, inflatable wings, foils, sails, boards, hulls and propellers.

Inflatable wing in the 3D space view — Inflatable wing - 3D space view, generated from the parameter file.

Unrolled panels with seam allowances — The same wing unrolled into flat panels, with seams and marks.

Layout map of the panels on fabric — Layout map - panels arranged for cutting.

Where this is going

The platform is being built in the open, one model type at a time. The inflatable wing is the first; the airfoil library and designer, a rigid wing tool and a propeller tool follow.
