ShapeDiver · Vienna, Austria · founded 2015
What it is
ShapeDiver hosts Grasshopper files in the cloud and turns them into browser-based applications, including 3D product configurators. It lets users share design tools without revealing the original Grasshopper code. A free account includes 50 monthly credits; paid plans start at €199/mo with annual billing, and a 14-day trial provides access to all platform features and up to 60 seconds of computation without requiring a credit card to create an account. The platform offers APIs and SDKs for custom applications, with TypeScript, Python, and .NET SDKs listed for Business. Listed integrations include Shopify, WooCommerce, iJewel3D, Speckle, Autodesk Forma, and VIKTOR.ai. ShapeDiver supports over 40 Grasshopper plugins, though availability and limits depend on the plan. Its security documentation describes SOC 2 Type 2 verification and encryption of account, model, and computation data at rest and in transit. Enterprise customers can use private server solutions, but on-premises deployment is not offered.
