Configurators And Parametric Tools
At AP Consulting, we build practical digital tools that cut out the slow, repetitive parts of your workflow. Using Grasshopper and ShapeDiver, we can turn common quoting and design tasks into simple web-based configurators that generate clean output files instantly—no Rhino license required on the user’s end.
Whether you need a lightweight tool for standard products or a full 3D configurator built around your entire process, we can make it happen.
What’s Possible
ShapeDiver lets us run your Grasshopper models online. That means your team—or your customers—can enter dimensions, select options, and download files without touching CAD.
These tools can handle:
-
Standard product sizing
-
Quoting
-
Panel layouts
-
Full 3D modeling
-
Automated drafting
-
DXF/SVG/PDF generation
-
Pricing logic
-
Website integration
Our goal is always the same: make the process faster, easier, and more consistent.
Example Projects
Free Tools From AP Consulting
To make this page genuinely useful, we’re offering a couple of small tools for free. They’re not demos—they’re real production helpers.
Box Cover Configurator
If you build a lot of dock box covers or utility covers, this tool pays for itself immediately—except it’s free.
Additional Tool (Coming Soon)
We plan to rotate in a second free tool. Candidates include:
-
Bimini Frame Generator
-
Marine Enclosure Renderer
-
Upholstery Cushion
We’ll pick something widely useful for canvas and fabrication shops.
Need One Built for Your Shop?
If there’s a product you quote over and over, or a workflow that would benefit from automation, we can build a custom configurator that fits your process exactly.
We handle the Grasshopper programming, the ShapeDiver setup, interface work, file export logic, and optional website integration.
If you want to explore what this could look like for your shop, reach out and we’ll start with a quick call.
