About cherrykit

First was the idea to create a design program for beautiful shapes that works on the web.

Parametric Design

We were interested in a "parametric design" approach, because you can design shapes once, then change measurements without having to re-draw anything.

Organic Geometry

We found design features to allow designers to make simple shapes more more beautiful with simple commands.

Signed Distance Functions

We settled on "signed distance functions" as it lets you design parametric shapes that would be hard or impossible to achieve with standard tools like openscad. As a bonus, it works on the web.

Examples

Some recent parts on this site explore these new design feature. Check out the Duplo Brio connector or the Uncovered Brio to see organic *transitions between shapes* that are beautiful, took no design effort and are still parametrizable. Aside from those, we've featured some standard parts that come in handy when doing home DIY.
