With parametric design in the computer, we are transforming the way sails and tarps are designed and produced.
Through advanced software and computational design, production drawings, cutting patterns, and optimizations can be created much faster and more efficiently.
Smarter Designs with Parametric Modeling:
Traditional methods for sail and tarp design require manual adjustments and long iterations. With parametric design, we can generate adaptive patterns based on specific input parameters. This results in quick and accurate production drawings.
Thanks to advanced 3D modeling and script-based parametric techniques, production drawings are automatically generated and adjusted. This dramatically reduces design time and allows for the immediate export of precise cutting patterns to CNC cutters or laser cutters.
Efficient Cutting and Automation
Through parametric modeling, not only is the shape defined, but also an optimal nesting strategy for cutting parts, minimizing material waste. This leads to sustainable parametric design and a more efficient production flow in maritime innovation.
By using parametric sail and tarp designs, sailmakers and maritime designers can move faster from concept to production, with fewer mistakes and less waste. This brings the future of eco-friendly designs and circular shipbuilding a step closer!
Parametric Design for Maritime Applications
Parametric modeling plays a crucial role in the design and production of complex 3D components for the maritime industry, such as railings for ships and composite structures for large yachts. By leveraging advanced design tools, shapes can be flexibly adapted to specific dimensions and requirements. Some designs are translated into parametrically generated molds for efficient production, while others are directly converted into 3D-printable solids. This process enhances accuracy, speeds up workflows, and enables innovative, custom-made solutions.
One of the greatest advantages of this parametric approach is the ability to automatically generate dozens, if not hundreds, of unique components without additional manual work. Thanks to intelligent algorithms and dynamic parameters, variations in dimensions, shapes, and connections can be easily implemented without the need to remodel each part individually. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of errors and ensures a streamlined production process for complex maritime structures.
