Parapet Generator

A web app that turns a building outline into the files the shop needs: bending programs, laser-cut data, and mounting plans.

Software, 2025

Overview

Draw the building outline. Pick the cover type. The app returns bending programs, laser-cut files, and mounting plans, ready for the shop. The prep work that used to fill several days runs in minutes.

Job prep for parapet covers, automated

Manual Planning Automated

Before: measure, draw, list parts, write bending programs by hand. Every geometry change meant doing it all again. Now: enter the outline, pick the type, get the parts and the cut files in one step.

Four Cover Types

The app handles four types: cornice and parapet cover, cornice cover, thick-sheet parapet (≥1 mm), and thin-sheet parapet (<1 mm). Each type has its own calculation logic and produces its own set of parts.

3D Preview and Calculation

The calculation runs on the server and the result appears in the browser. Each component - parapet, cover sheet, adhesive sheet, slider - can be toggled on and off to check how it fits together. Thickness, overhang, and the other parameters update live.

Scope

Concept and build of the web app: geometry editor, calculation backend, and exports for four parapet cover types.

Outcomes

Job prep drops from days to minutes

Bending programs and laser-cut files come directly from the outline, with no manual measurement transfer

Four parapet cover types covered by a single app
