Problem
Traditional CAD software often features workflows designed for manufacturability, which can be clunky and limit creative exploration for artists and designers focused on aesthetics rather than engineering constraints. These workflows can be difficult to learn and may not integrate well with modern polygonal modeling techniques familiar to many creatives.
Solution
Plasticity is a CAD software tailored for artists and creative professionals, offering a streamlined workflow optimized for creative exploration and advanced modeling. It combines the power of NURBS modeling with workflow innovations from modern polygonal modeling software, providing flexibility for bringing ideas to life. Plasticity features an advanced geometry and fillet engine based on Parasolid algorithms, enabling users to create fillets, booleans, and offsets. The software is available with a perpetual license, allowing users to own the software outright without subscription fees.
Target Audience
Plasticity is designed for creative professionals in industries such as video game development, product design, and vehicle design, as well as artists and designers seeking a CAD tool optimized for creative workflows.
