Kelp3D is a free browser-based parametric design tool for generative structures with unit-aware controls and CNC/laser fabrication exports (DXF, STL, OBJ). Instant parameter control Works in the browser — including on mobile Kelp runs entirely in the browser on phones, tablets, and desktop Who it's for Makers and fabricators prototyping cut-ready layouts Students and educators exploring parametric structure without heavy software Designers and architects.
Having ideas and modeling them in 3d software is one thing. Geting it fabricated is another. Thats where Kelp steps in. Designers, students, architects,etc..can go from ideation to prototyping in a heartbeat.
Love that it runs in the browser and handles unit-aware controls natively, that is a real pain point in most parametric tools. One thing that would push it further for my workflow: a built-in material nesting preview so I can see how parts pack onto a sheet before exporting the DXF, ideally with an editable kerf value. Would save a ton of trial cuts on the laser.

Who hunted Kelp3D?
Kelp3D was hunted by dominik raskin. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
