SolidVents – Parametric design tool for complex gradient patterns with SVG and STEP export

Summary: SolidVents is a browser-based parametric design tool that generates complex gradient and wavy vent patterns quickly. It exports designs in SVG, DXF, and STEP formats, supporting industrial design, graphic design, and laser cutting workflows.

What it does

SolidVents allows users to create speaker grilles, ventilation holes, vector backgrounds, and halftone textures by adjusting sliders to generate geometric arrays. It exports files as 3D STEP and 2D SVG or DXF formats for various design applications.

Who it's for

The tool is intended for CAD engineers, graphic designers, and makers needing efficient generation of complex vent patterns and vector designs.

Why it matters

It addresses the inefficiency and instability of traditional parametric CAD software by providing a lightweight, fast alternative for creating detailed vent and pattern designs.
