igeform
Igeform is a term used in discussions of geometric modeling and generative design to describe a class of artifacts whose form emerges from procedural rules rather than explicit sculpting. Typically, an igeform system couples a parametric or procedural engine with a geometric representation, guiding shape generation through constraints, optimization targets, and aesthetic criteria. The result is forms with coherent structure, smooth morphing across parameter spaces, and adaptability to different scales and manufacturing processes.
Evidence of the term’s history is sparse and uneven; it is encountered mainly in niche design communities
Uses of igeform encompass exploration of form-constraint relationships, rapid prototyping, and education in geometric thinking. Limitations
