A Cloud-Based Solution for Modern Challenges
One of the significant challenges in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is the cumbersome process of sharing files and collaborating on projects. Traditional workflows often involve sending static models back and forth, leading to version control issues, loss of parametric functionality, and exposure of intellectual property.Traditionally, computational design tools like Grasshopper or Dynamo have been desktop-based, requiring significant computational resources and specialized knowledge. BeeGraphy breaks these barriers by offering a web-based, collaborative computational design tool that operates entirely on the cloud. BeeGraphy tackles several key challenges in the computational design process by offering real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work together simultaneously and eliminating the risk of version overlap. The platform simplifies sharing through a single URL, while maintaining the parametric functionality of models.
Additionally, BeeGraphy protects intellectual property by enabling designers to share their work without revealing the underlying scripts. Being cloud-based, it ensures accessibility from any device with an internet connection, removing the need for specialized hardware or operating systems. Moreover, its web-based nature eliminates traditional licensing constraints, making advanced computational design tools more accessible to a wider audience.
Empowering the Future of Design through Innovation
BeeGraphy allows designers, architects, engineers, and creative professionals to develop complex and innovative designs using parametric and algorithmic modelling techniques. By leveraging computational processes and algorithms, users can create, manipulate, and optimize design models with unprecedented efficiency and precision.The platform offers an intuitive, web-based editor that enables users to create and edit parametric models using advanced NURBS algorithms. Its unique configurator mode allows easy parameter adjustments without revealing the underlying scripts, while the integrated marketplace lets designers monetize their creations. Real-time collaboration tools enhance teamwork and co-creation, making it ideal for design teams. The platform prioritizes education by offering free access to institutions and hosting workshops, seminars, and awards to foster learning.
Serving a wide range of users, the platform provides computational designers with powerful online tools and monetization opportunities, while offering the general audience customizable 3D models through a user-friendly interface. Manufacturers and fabricators benefit from accessing production-ready files, optimizing their workflows. Through these innovative features, the platform is pushing the boundaries of computational design and creating a more accessible, collaborative environment for the future of design.
Computational design is about unlocking creativity through technology, enabling designers to innovate, collaborate, and bring complex ideas to life with precision and efficiency. BeeGraphy is democratizing computational design by making it more accessible and collaborative.
