Revolutionizing Ventilation Systems with Parametric Sheet Metal Design

A new approach to designing efficient, cost-effective ventilation systems through advanced parametric modeling.

Revolutionizing Ventilation Systems with Parametric Sheet Metal Design

Why Parametric Design Matters for Sheet Metal

Increased Precision
Parametric models automatically
adjust all related components when
one parameter changes, eliminating
errors in sheet metal fabrication.
Reduced Waste
Optimal material utilization through
accurate nesting and cutting
patterns, reducing sheet metal scrap
by up to 30%.
Faster Iterations
Design changes propagate
automatically through the system,
allowing for rapid testing of
multiple ventilation solutions.


Sheet metal design has evolved from manual drafting to intelligent, responsive modeling that transforms how we approach ventilation systems.

The Evolution of Sheet Metal Design

Traditional Approach

  • Static 2D drawings

  • Manual calculations

  • Limited iteration capability

  • High material waste

  • Frequent fabrication errors

Parametric Approach

  • Dynamic 3D models

  • Automated performance analysis

  • Unlimited design variations

  • Material optimization

  • Fabrication-ready output

Key Components of Parametric Sheet Metal Design

Parameter Definition
Create flexible variables for dimensions, materials, and performance requirements that drive the entire model.

Relationship Rules
Establish connections between components that maintain design intent through any changes.
Geometric Logic
Define how shapes transform and adapt based on spatial and functional requirements.
Fabrication Rules
Embed manufacturing constraints to ensure all designs can be efficiently produced with available sheet metal techniques.

Real-World Applications in Ventilation Systems

Commercial Buildings
Optimizing airflow while navigating complex spatial constraints in office buildings and retail spaces.

Healthcare Facilities
Creating specialized ventilation systems with strict air quality and pressure requirements for patient safety.

Industrial Environments
