Parametrix: a novel approach to teaching parametric designing
Documentation | GitHub
The Parametrix programm provides the resources for parametric designing in an easy to understand way, provides the liberty of imaginative design and to export these as sketches(dxf) or stl files, a native way to send your designs to your printer.
Welcome to this repository created for the Parametrix tool. Parametrix teaches parametric designing by combining an approachable, simple to use pixel art design and the Fusion 360 API. Below are the Javascript and Python docs for the Parametrix tool
This is a completely open source project so if you want to add something or make a suggestion just send a pull up request.) If you want to learn more you can visit the OpenSourceDocs folder
Parametric designing is a transformative approach in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) where the geometry adapts dynamically based on user-defined parameters. Despite the valuable propositions of this technique it remains underused due to a lack of resources suited for complete beginners causing the technique to have a steep learning curve. That’s where Parametrix comes in as a novel way to introduce Parametric Designing to individuals who are unfamiliar with the concept. Parametrix is a web app where users can create designs in which every parameter is defined. Through an approachable and user-friendly Parametrix provides an easy introduction to the logic of parametric designing and is a medium to create various designs using the parametric designing methodology. Similar to approaches that use interactive and playful methods for teaching geometric concepts, Parametrix aims to engage users in a personalized learning environment. Parametrix teaches parametric design using an applied method which helps students develop creativity and collaborative competency.
