Build Service Released!

Integrate ParametricParts into your application or website!

We're pleased to announce that a beta version of our model build service is released!

Our build service allows you to use a simple REST endpoint to build models from any application or website.  This is a very flexible service that offers lots of flexibility for your application:


  • Build models in STL, STEP, AMF, or Three.js  format ( for display )
  • Build models that are stored on parametricparts.com, or keep the scripts on your server and send the script with the request
We hope this service will open up lots of possibilities for new applications-- from people wanting to build a website around a collection of models, to new applications designed to take 3D productivity to the next level.

STEP Import Functionality Completed!

Now Parametric Parts offers the exclusive ability to import STEP files, and then allow parametric modifications to them.

You can choose to upload models to our server for use in your ModelScript, or you can download them directly from another source ( typically Thingiverse ).

Check out this example of a pulley, with a quick script to modify the bore:
