About BeeGraphy

BeeGraphy is a cloud-based platform for computational design, parametric modeling, and digital fabrication. It connects a visual programming editor, a community marketplace, and an embeddable 3D configurator - all running on the same parametric engine. Browser-based, real-time, collaborative.

Key Features

Cloud-Native

Runs entirely in the browser. No downloads, no GPU requirements.

Node-Based Visual Programming

200+ node types for parametric geometry and generative algorithms.

Real-Time Collaboration

Multi-user live editing with role-based access.

Design to Production

Node graph to CNC-ready G-code in one workflow.

Production-Ready Exports

STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, DXF, G-code output.

Open Plugin Ecosystem

TypeScript scripting, community plugins, OpenCASCADE API.

3D Visualization

Real-time viewport with materials and environment maps.

Free to Design

The Editor is free. You pay when value is created.

Continuous Updates

New nodes, AI features, and improvements shipping regularly.

Design to Production

The complete pipeline - from parametric geometry to manufactured product.

1

Design

Editor

Build parametric geometry with visual nodes - points, curves, surfaces, solids. Define parameters that control dimensions, patterns, and form. Preview in real-time 3D.

2

Configure

Editor

Assign materials, set pricing rules, define export formats, and choose which parameters customers can adjust. One model, infinite variations.

3

Publish

Marketplace / Configurator

Share to the Marketplace for the community to discover and purchase - or embed directly on your website as an interactive 3D Configurator.

4

Order

Dashboard

Customer configures the product, price updates live, and submits an order. The system auto-generates a quote, BOM, and production-ready files.

5

Manufacture

CAM View

Assign a machine, generate G-code toolpaths, simulate the cut, and send to CNC or laser.

Our Platform

BeeGraphy is built as a connected ecosystem - each product serves a distinct role but they all share the same parametric engine. The Editor is where you design. The Marketplace is where you share and sell. The Configurator is where customers interact with your products. And the Plugin system is where developers extend everything. Explore each below.

Core Product

BeeGraphy Editor

The Editor is the computational engine behind the entire platform. It provides a node-based visual programming environment where you connect geometry operations and logic functions into a graph. The 3D viewport updates in real-time as you adjust parameters. Over 200 node types, TypeScript scripting with full OpenCASCADE kernel access, and multi-user live collaboration - all running in the browser with no installs required.

BeeGraphy Editor

Editor Documentation

Geometry, 3D viewport, capabilities, output formats, and shortcuts.

Community

BeeGraphy Marketplace

The Marketplace is where computational designers distribute and commercialize parametric models and algorithms. Models can be sold without revealing the underlying logic - proprietary algorithms stay encrypted server-side. Designers earn from finished model sales or by selling the algorithms themselves to other developers. Buyers interact with a live 3D preview before purchasing, and download in STEP, STL, OBJ, DXF, or PDF.

BeeGraphy Marketplace

Marketplace Documentation

Algorithm confidentiality, two revenue streams, licensing, and selling workflow.

For Business

3D Configurator

The 3D Configurator turns parametric models into embeddable product customizers for manufacturers and retailers. Customers rotate, zoom, and explore products in full 3D, adjust parameters like size, color, and material through an intuitive interface, and see changes render in real-time. Once finalized, the configurator auto-generates production files for CNC machines and 3D printers. Order details integrate directly into the seller's sales management system.

3D Configurator

Configurator Documentation

Embed code, integration steps, capabilities, and production file automation.

Developers

Plugin & API Development

BeeGraphy's plugin system lets you write custom TypeScript nodes with full access to the OpenCASCADE geometry kernel. Build operations that don't exist yet, package them as versioned plugins, and publish to the BeeGraphy Package Manager (BGPM) for the community to install. The API enables external integration - embed configurators, automate parameterization, and receive orders directly into your CRM or ERP system.
