Configurable Rack System with Variables and Expressions | Modeling projects

Industrial designer Claas Kuhnen demonstrates how to build a fully adjustable rack model using Variables and Expressions in Shapr3D. Drive consistency across sketches and features, set global values for wall thickness, angle, or spacing, and explore geometry variations without breaking constraints.

Learn how to:
• Add variables: Control dimensions like wall thickness and bracket spacing across the design.
• Apply expressions: Define relationships using simple math to maintain logic between features.
• Use Shell, Offset Face, and Extrude: Apply variable-driven geometry changes in 3D tools.
• Create parametric sketches: Lock down critical geometry while keeping forms flexible.
• Mirror and pattern bodies: Speed up design repetition without losing parametric control.
• Split and subtract parts: Use modeling logic that adapts with every variable update.
• Structure with folders: Keep variations and design logic organized for easier iteration.
