ShapeDiver
"Cloud Applications for Grasshopper"
Vienna-based cloud platform that turns Grasshopper parametric models into interactive 3D web configurators and APIs.
ShapeDiver is an Austrian technology company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Vienna, Austria. It provides a cloud-based platform that enables architects, engineers, designers, and product companies to transform parametric 3D models created in Rhino's Grasshopper visual programming environment into interactive, browser-based web applications without requiring custom software development.
The core value proposition of ShapeDiver is to bridge the gap between sophisticated computational design workflows, typically confined to desktop workstations, and end-user-facing tools such as 3D product configurators, sales tools, and design automation applications. Users upload Grasshopper definition files to the ShapeDiver cloud, which hosts and executes the models on secure, scalable Rhino compute instances. The resulting interactive application can be embedded as an iframe, accessed via REST APIs, or built out using ShapeDiver's App Builder toolkit and JavaScript SDK.
ShapeDiver supports over 40 Grasshopper plugins, enabling access to a wide ecosystem of computational geometry, structural analysis, parametric furniture, and architectural design tools. Compatibility spans Rhino versions 6, 7, and 8.
Key use cases include 3D product configurators for e-commerce (enabling customers to customize products in real time with immediate visual feedback), design automation for architecture and engineering firms (replacing manual modeling with parametric workflows), and manufacturing process automation (auto-generating production-ready drawings and files from configured designs).
Industries served include architecture, engineering, and construction; automotive and mobility design; furniture and interior products; jewelry; and consumer goods. Enterprise clients use ShapeDiver to automate sales, design review, and manufacturing pipelines.
ShapeDiver is a small team of approximately 12-13 people distributed across four continents. The company raised a seed round and a research grant totaling approximately USD 193,000 in 2018 and has grown primarily through subscription revenue. Pricing tiers range from a free tier to a Business plan at EUR 499 per month supporting 10,000 sessions.
Co-founders include CEO Mathias Hoebinger, Alexander Schiftner, and Mathieu Huard.
