Start with a line.
Draw a profile, import an SVG or begin with a reusable primitive. Start simple. The interesting part comes next.
Sketch tools / SVG import / PrimitivesA DIRECT SPACE FOR 3D IDEAS
Less friction.
More form.
Your next idea doesn’t need another menu.
It needs room to take shape.
Sketch, build, refine and shade.
One workspace. Your way of making.
From a first sketch to your next object.

Design my room.
Start with Studio House. Change a dimension in words, inspect the plan, and keep the editable geometry.

01 / THE WORKFLOW
Follow the idea.
Not the interface.
Move between free exploration and measured decisions. Keep the process direct—and the result editable.
Give it dimension.
Turn a closed profile into a solid. Pull a face, enter a distance or refine a dimension—in millimeters, inches or degrees.
Extrude / Direct editing / Exact dimensionsMake it your own.
Explore modifiers, adjust a finish and compose your scene. Save the editable project so the next idea doesn’t mean starting over.
Modifiers / Materials / Editable projects02 / BUILT TO KEEP YOU MAKING
Fluid ideas.
Exact decisions.
Make a buckle. Explore a sculptural object. Refine a part. Choose the tools that suit the work.
Find your starting pointPrecision CAD
Precision, when you need it.
Work with dimensions, constraints and feature history. Exact geometry helps you move beyond a good-looking viewport.
Creative modeling
Room to experiment.
Shape creative meshes, apply modifiers and explore material graphs. Undo and Redo keep iteration part of the process.
Design generators
A useful head start.
Begin with purpose-built recipes for hardware, rings and linked systems. Adjust the parameters instead of rebuilding every repeated detail.
03 / BEYOND THE SOLID
Think in pieces.
Explore in fabric.
Draft or trace pattern pieces, connect seams and explore how they drape around adjustable or imported bodies.
Open Form, then choose FabricFABRIC WORKSPACE · EXPERIMENTAL
- Pattern
- Draw pieces, adjust measurements and set seam allowances.
- Sew
- Connect compatible edges and build up a garment.
- Explore
- Simulate drape and inspect estimated fit on a body.
Simulation and fit estimates are not physically validated sizing or production approval. Test patterns and materials before manufacturing.

Project walkthrough: After HoursOpen reference ↗
AFTER HOURS / Form Studio / Web editor
A small change. A different presence.
An editable clasp study, from its first proportions to a broader frame and two contrasting metal finishes.
Start with proportion
The buckle starter establishes a 55 × 38 mm outer profile. Its frame, openings and centre bar remain in the editable feature history.
Widen the outer rail
Changing the outer width to 64 mm preserves the openings and gives the right rail more weight. The geometry visibly updates in the same isometric view.
Bring in warmth
Polished brass changes the surface to a warmer finish, with roughness at 0.17 and metal at 0.94. The camera and geometry stay fixed for comparison.
Keep a cooler option
Brushed steel offers a cooler alternative. The finished state was saved as an editable Form project and exported to a verified PNG.
Compare the finishes

Actual browser session. The starter’s optional fillet failed and was suppressed; these views show the resulting rectangular geometry. This is a visual study, not manufacturing or fit validation.
YOUR BROWSER EDITION
Your web edition.
Create editable geometry, explore materials, and save a Form project in the browser.
Current limitations
Native geometry, simulation, filesystem integration and rendering differ from the web edition. Browser work is not certification for manufacturing, engineering or garment fit.
