Single curved surfaces, also known as developable surfaces, are extremely important to 3d modelling in various fields like marine design, architecture, product design, and art works. They help reduce manufacturing costs and tooling, yet no other software allowed designers to use them in a straightforward way with a high degree of precision and control. Things changed! EvoluteTools D.LOFT enables users to create developable surfaces between arbitrary 3d curves with a push of a button, hassle free. A quick introduction video to our new Rhino plugin is available on our YouTube and YouKu channel, while our webshop is ready to take your order.

The b-Shack pavilion is a combined steel and wood structure created by the McGill School of Architecture DRS (Directed Research Studio M.Arch) students as a capstone project for their final year. It is built in collaboration with F.A.R.M.M. (Facility for Architectural Research and Media Mediation, founding director Michael Jemtrud), and Maria Mingallon, the Gerald Sheff visiting Professor. Evolute is a proud sponsor of this initiative and congratulates the Design Team for their efforts. Check out the project status and details here.

The latest maintenance release of EvoluteTools PRO will be rolling out to our customers in a few hours. This new release includes bug fixes, stability improvements, faster optimization and added functionality. We advise our customers to get in contact with us if they changed their contact details in order to receive the latest EvoluteTools software update.

The Dodekaederstern is on display in Vienna! The surface of the sculpture was mathematically form found, however, the first 3d output of the equation defining the surface was a discrete mesh. Evolute reconstructed the surface of the stellated dodecahedron as a NURBS surface in order to provide precise manufacturing data. You can find detailed information on the project here.

In an effort to better reach our users in Asia, we are making our presentation and tutorial videos available on the YouKu platform. To watch the videos follow this link and in case you would like to have a particular bit of functionality demonstrated in a tutorial, please let us know.
