One workflow.
Many robots.

From screen to something real

Design and fabrication
in one environment.

Stay in the tools you know. PRC connects your geometry to robot motion, so you can move between design and making.

01 / Design

Start where you create.

Build robot workflows in Grasshopper and Blender. Connect your own tools with the gRPC API.

GrasshopperBlendergRPC API
02 / Simulate

See the next move.

Preview robot motion, check reachability and collisions, and work with tools and external axes.

KinematicsCollision checking
03 / Fabricate

Put ideas in motion.

Generate robot programs or connect to supported controllers. Keep your design and fabrication in sync.

Connected by design

A server that does the robotics.
Clients that stay light.

Your tools send the tasks. PRC handles the robotics and returns the results. Connect a plugin, a script, or an application of your own.

Design clients connect over gRPC to PRC Server for kinematics, simulation, collision checking and code generation. PRC connects to supported robot controllers or exports robot programs.
