Online Swept-path analysis with the PathSweeper Projekt Pass: €29 one-time per project. Build any vehicle from a manufacturer datasheet, upload DWG/DXF and satellite plans, export DXF, and bill the project to your client. No subscription.
I originally started building PathSweeper as a fun side project. I’m into physics and web dev, and swept-path analysis seemed like a cool way to combine them. I was looking for a project where the math actually mattered in the real world, like figuring out if a tractor can fit through a narrow gate.
I started checking out the industry standard software just to see how they handled things, and I honestly couldn't believe it. Hundreds or thousands of euros a year. Subscription after subscription. Software locked behind paywalls for something that is, at its core, not that complicated. Companies that clearly decided long ago that engineers were a captive audience who would just pay whatever was asked.
So I made PathSweeper different. There are zero subscriptions. You either use it for free or pay a simple one-time fee per project. All the data stays strictly on EU servers. I’m never selling it and I’m definitely not feeding it to an AI company.
I’m just exhausted by the modern software trend where you have to rent your tools forever while they harvest your data or constantly hike up the prices. I figured a lot of other people are too, so this is my alternative.
