RhinoFabStudio

Parametric Design + Optimization + Digital Fabrication

RhinoFabStudio

Objectives:
Teach, learn and share different methods of fabrication for industrial designers, architects, and engineers where Rhinoceros is involved in any cycle of the manufacturing process.
This RhinoFabStudio community is a great place for sharing information about hardware used to fabricate your ideas, your digital models and your Grasshopper definitions.
RhinoFabStudio is open to everyone and welcomes any Rhinoceros compatible program that helps you accomplish your ideas.
RhinoFabStudio urges all Rhino ARTs and ARTCs to post your events, workshops and classes which pertain to fabrication methods and/or processes.

Day 2 – Company visit & Project visit Chäserrugg
19 September 2025


On the second day, we invite you to get to know Blumer Lehmann better by taking a tour of the company. You will gain exciting insights into our wood-related activities, from the sawmill to Free Form production. Afterwards, we will take you to the beautiful Toggenburg region, nestled between eastern Switzerland and Lake Zurich. There, you will have the chance to visit the renowned Chäserrugg summit restaurant, designed by Herzog & de Meuron. During a cosy lunch at high altitude, there will be another chance to chat informally and exchange ideas.
