Parametric Dreams [Ep. 7] – ShapeDiver Supports Research And Innovation!
At ShapeDiver, we are always happy to hand out licenses and a helping hand to any student or research fellow who wish to use ShapeDiver for their work. As a result, several publications have involved ShapeDiver in our three years of existence. In some of them, the platform even plays a significant role. We present here an overview of some of these eclectic works and discuss the shared design principles that connect them together.
