Introduction to StructuralDesigner3D

Unleash the power of physics!

StructuralDesigner3D is an innovative plugin for Rhinoceros3D that enables the creation of funicular, tensile, and pneumatic structures using advanced Dynamic Relaxation techniques (without the need for scripting or complex visual programming).

​Inspired by physical form-finding phenomena like soap films, suspended chains, and inflated membranes, the plugin converts lines and meshes into spring-based systems that naturally evolve into structurally efficient forms.

Learning from the projects you create with StructuralDesigner3D is invaluable for improving the software and inspiring the community. I warmly invite you to share your work, connect with me, and explore opportunities for collaboration, teaching, or workshops.

Thank you for being part of the StructuralDesigner3D community.
