Woodbee , CAM software for Grasshopper3d
August 2, 2022
Woodbee is a compact CAM plugin for Grasshopper currently focusing on the milling objects from planar sheets. The tool can automatically detect different features in the input geometry and suggest suitable milling strategy based on the given tool and machine type (3 axis to 6 axis machines). Once the tool path is generated it can be simulated in Rhino viewport in real time. After a successful simulation, the tool path can be converted to GCODE or KUKA command using the specified postprocessors.
Biber , parametric joinery in Rhino+Grasshopper 3d
July 3, 2022
We are pleased to announce Biber , a complete solution for parametric joinery in Rhino + Grasshopper. This GH plugin enable users to create fabrication parts from assemblies consist of planar sheets. Users can control the joint types which joins different parts in the assembly as well as material thickness for each individual part. Also in complex assembly Biber can trim the parts at corners in such a way that parts do not intersect. An unfolding tool is also included so that parts can be unfolded and nested along with all necessary labeling in desired sheet sizes and send to fabrication. Currently plug-in is in Beta version and available for testing on food for Rhino free of cost.
Bridge Curves plugin for Grasshopper
November 22, 2021
When you take off elements from a laser or CNC machine after cutting process ,sometime you want the items to remain connected together rather than mixing them up and spend time on sorting later on. If that is what you struggle with in your workshop, then we have Bridge Curve plug-in for you. This Grasshopper component connects the element together by making small bridge between each pair. The elements remain connected till you break those tiny connections.
Group nest plugin for Grasshopper
November 14, 2021
Group Nesting is a grasshopper component which works as an extension of Open Nest tool and enables users to define adjacency between the items in a nest, meaning user of plugin is able to keep things which are labeled uniquely, close to each other in the nesting. This helps to keeps elements more organized and reduce the time which is normally wasted in sorting and finding elements later on in the production pipe line.
KUKA|prc tool path optimizer
November 7, 2021
We have just developed a grasshopper component which works for KUKA|prc plugin a tool set developed by Robots in Architecture and enables users to remove the collision from a defined tool path by rotating the fifth axis about the rotary axis of the tool. The usage of this plug-in is mainly in the area of the robotic machining where a tool is attached to the robot arm and used for milling. We are now publishing the plug-in for a limited period (till end of the 2021) in order to get feed back from end users. Please visit the product page for download and use the forum on the same page to give your feedback.
Finite Element Analysis in 3ds MAX
September 20, 2021
For the first time you can run finite element analysis within 3ds MAX!
Tanks for BriefFiniteElementNet and Para 3d you can now model and analyze trusses, space frames, beams and frames. This plug-in and its external library is open source and free.
Grasshopper UI+
May 16, 2021
After several months working on various Rhino + Grasshopper plugins and developing new UI for the custom components in grasshopper , I just decided to package all controls into a C# library and make it available to all Grasshopper developers. The current version includes several interactive controls which can be easily added to the GH component by implementing an abstract class called
GHCustomComponent
The complete documentation will follow soon, however, here is a brief “how to use” for whoever wants to put his hands on. If you wish to have access to the shared library please get in touch !

Plane geometry in Revit
February 29, 2020
Hi there!
I just started blogging!
I’ll be talking about the stuff that I do in ParametricZoo, and my architectural carrier. You will find various topics such as the software development , research work, parametric design, tutorials, design project, digital design and fabrication, places that I visit. Basically anything that may add to your knowledge in the area of design and programming .
Here is my first post in Revit programming. Please keep in touch and follow me here or in our new Instagram page.
Please go ahead and read my first post!
