Parametric 3D models
Make your model parametric: one file, every size
Tired of re-exporting a box every time someone wants a different magnet size? Don't want to hand out your CAD source files? Set your model up once: link the magnet holes, screw holes, press-fit inserts or snap-fit lids to sliders so they always come out fitting right. Save it as a normal 3MF file and open it any time you need a new size.
How it works
-
1
Link what matters
Group the parts of your model, then connect the sizes you actually change, a magnet pocket, a screw hole, a press-fit insert, a snap-fit lid, to sliders and dropdowns on one visual graph.
-
2
Lay out a simple form
Arrange those sliders and dropdowns into a short, tidy form, in the order that makes sense, so opening the file later shows a handful of choices instead of the whole graph.

Save the file and share it
Save the project as a plain .3mf and send it any way you like. Whoever opens it in Paramability sees the model and your form, nothing else, and every choice stays within the limits you set. No website to host.
What's in the configurator
One visual graph
Parts, options and their limits, laid out on a visual graph you build once and reuse for every size.
Form designer
Pick the order and grouping of the fields others see when they open your file: a short, clear form instead of the whole graph.
Fits that stay right
Link a magnet pocket, a screw hole, a press-fit insert or a snap-fit lid to a slider once, and it keeps its fit at every size instead of being eyeballed again for each variant.
Decals without extra files
Add a decal, swap it for another, or switch it off, right from the graph. One project covers every version instead of a separate file per design.
Export a batch
Queue several configurations and export them together: one 3MF with a plate per item, a single merged STL, or one STL file per item.
Share the file, not a link
There's no hosted page yet, just the .3mf. Anyone who opens it in Paramability sees the model and your form, with no account and no CAD software.

FAQ
Do I need to host a page or send a link?
No. There is no hosted page yet. Save the project as a .3mf and send that file the way you normally would: email, a shared drive, a messaging app. Opening it in Paramability shows the model and your form, with no account and no CAD software needed.
What can someone export from the file?
A 3MF with one plate per configuration, a single merged STL, or one STL file per item, the same choices you had while building it. Need something you can edit in CAD? Run the result through the STL to STEP converter.
