Kite and Wing Design Products

All KaroroCAD products are built and run on top of McNeels Rhinoceros 3D and leverage Rhino’s powerful NURB’s based 3D engine to produce clean and accurate 3D models and 2D panels. You can touch on what this engine has to offer using the online KaroroCad tools, however for a full feature experience we recommend KaroroCAD Plugin for Rhino.

KaroroKITE Rhino Plugin

For the design of modern SLE style kitesurfing kites KaroroKITE is the first of a new generation of kite design tools. Running within Rhino3D, KaroroKITE features an easy to understand user interface making it quick to access all the parameters needed to define your kite. By leveraging the power of Rhino3D as its 3D engine, KaroroCAD features mathematically accurate, NURBs based surfacing (not meshes). This leads to all parts being close fit with no post processing or fit factors required in the design process. AI based Bridle tuning - KaroroKITE bridles are developed using a very powerful Physics Simulation engine linked to an AI based search algorithm. Allowing the designer to set a smooth distribution of loads and leveraging the power of modern computing to discover the best solution.

KaroroWING Rhino Plugin

Released in 2023, KaroroWING is a separate branch of the KaroroCAD code to match the requirements of Wing design and building. KaroroWING uses the same easy to understand user interface as KaroroKITE, but with unique tools built just for Wing design.

KaroroCAD.online Kite Designer

Running 100% within the web browser, KaroroCAD.online kite designer is a free to access version of KaroroKITE that allows anyone to explore the world of kite design from their desktop, phone or tablet.

KaroroCAD.online Wing Designer

Running 100% within the web browser, KaroroCAD.online wing designer is a free to access version of KaroroWING that allows anyone to explore the world of wing design from their desktop, phone or tablet.

KaroroTUNE

KaroroTUNE is a tool that allows the design and tuning of SLE style kite bridles on 3D models imported from other kite design packages. Based on the same AI Based Bridle tuning module in KaroroKITE, KaroroTUNE uses a very powerful Physics Simulation engine linked to an AI based search algorithm. KaroroTUNE allows the designer to set a smooth distribution of loads and leverage the power of modern computing to discover the best possible bridle solution in less time.

System Requirements to Run KaroroCAD

KaroroCAD Rhino Plugin

Rhino 7 / Rhino 8 Windows or MacOS Mouse with scroll wheel Two monitors recommended - one for Rhino display and one for KaroroCAD Tools

KaroroCAD.online

Modern browser - Chrome recommended Mouse with scroll wheel on desktop environment Works in modern browser on phone and tablet

Production Ready file delivery

KaroroCAD supplies all data needed for successful assembly of the Kite or Wing. Seam allowances, panel markings and seam alignment marks are all automatically created. Each set of output geometry is assigned its own layer on export to Rhino - making post processing easy to manage if required.
