Karamba3D sits at the interface between structural design, architecture, and product design.

It is being developed by a team of architecture and engineering enthusiasts in cooperation with Bollinger+Grohmann.

Mission Statement

“Our aim is to empower everyone to creatively design structures using parametric geometries in combination with fast and reliable finite element analysis. We strive to create a software that is tailored for non-experts and our users shall be in full control of the software and not the other way round.”

Clemens Preisinger

How it all came about

The initial computational core of Karamba3D has been developed by Clemens Preisinger during the research project ‘Algorithmic Generation of complex Spaceframes’ at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Upon completion of the research project, the initial code basis was further developed in continued cooperation with Bollinger+Grohmann. The first release came in 2010 as an interactive structural design plug-in for the visual scripting environment of Grasshopper for Rhinoceros.   Since then, Karamba3D has spread around the world through practice, research and academia. The ongoing development aims at continually improving usability and functionality based on the needs of its users.
