Magic Box

create flexible designs through parameters

from parametric boxes..

When you create some physical object, you often like to protect it. So you get a box. But why is it so hard to find or make boxes that neatly fit your creation?

This was the starting point of Magic Box, making box templates with flexible dimensions in 3 simple steps:

1. Measure your object
2. set the parameters
3. print and cut out your design (or even more convenient: use a digital cutter)

..to parametric anything!

But if you can draw boxes with it, why not also make other parametric designs?

That’s why we are aiming to develop this design tool further and make it a great way to create flexible design for 2D designs and 3D folding products.
