Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Yoshi, an industrial designer and the maker of SolidVents. The Problem: If you’ve ever tried to design complex, gradient, or wavy vent patterns in traditional parametric CAD software, you know the pain. Manually setting up the relations takes forever, the rebuild times are an absolute nightmare, and half the time, the software just crashes. I was wasting hours on simple speaker grills and ventilation holes. The Solution: I built SolidVents to scratch my own itch. It’s a lightweight, browser-based parametric generator. Instead of fighting with heavy CAD software, you just tweak a few sliders and generate complex geometric patterns in seconds. How it evolved: I originally built this strictly for CAD engineers (exporting as Solid STEP files for quick Boolean cuts). But as I added more features, I realized it’s also a massive time-saver for graphic designers and makers. So, I added clean SVG and DXF exports for Illustrator, posters, and laser cutting. Key Features: 🎛️ Instantly generate gradient and wavy geometric arrays. 📦 Export formats: STEP (3D), SVG, and DXF (2D). ⚡ No login required to test the core features. I’m incredibly excited to share this with the PH community today. You can play around with the generator right now for free. I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day. I would absolutely love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or answer any questions you have! Let me know what you think! 🍻
