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.

Live LLM Data to SubD Geometry: A Biomimetic Workflow in Rhino 8

By integrating a live LLM API directly into Grasshopper, Malvina Stamatiadi transforms AI-generated coordinate data into a biomimetic SubD lattice inspired by dragonfly wing venation, resulting in a 3D-printed lamp that bridges artificial intelligence and physical craft.

News about Rhino and Digital Fabrication

Ladybug Tools and IronBug online workshop, April 15-17 (McNeel Europe)



Tutors: Mateo Barbero,  Adrian Krezlik, Julia Karnas
April 15-17, 2026
10 AM-5 PM CEST (Barcelona)
Hosted on Zoom by McNeel Europe

Join us for a focused, hands-on three-day workshop on energy simulation and thermal comfort modelling using Rhino and Grasshopper, with a special emphasis on robust workflows with Ladybug Tools and advanced HVAC system simulation using IronBug, hosted in person by Dosta Tec and led by energy engineer Mateo Barbero, architect Adrian Krezlik, and energy modeller Julia Karnas.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
  • Build and calibrate multi-zone energy models
  • Know the basic of setting up a detailed HVAC systems using IronBug
  • Evaluate operational energy use and carbon intensity
  • Model and interpret most common thermal comfort metrics
  • Integrate energy and comfort analysis into early-stage design workflows

Day 1: Foundations of Climate & Energy Modelling

The first day establishes the theoretical and computational foundations of
building energy modelling. 
  • Climate modelling in the AEC context
  • Future climate scenarios and its modelling
  • Weather data
  • Introduction to Ladybug Tools interface and workflows
  • Weather data analysis and radiation studies
  • Building a simple energy model in Honeybee
  • Best practices for geometry, zoning, and simulation setup

Day 2 : Detailed Energy Simulation & Thermal Comfort (with IronBug)

The second day focuses on advancing from simplified models to technically
rigorous simulations, including HVAC system modelling through IronBug.
  • Develop a detailed multi-zone energy model
  • Define program schedules, internal loads, and occupancy profiles
  • Assign construction assemblies and material properties
  • Analyse energy intensity and end-use breakdown
  • Evaluate operational carbon intensity
  • Introduction to IronBug
  • HVAC system modelling logic
  • System components and configuration
  • Linking HVAC systems to thermal zones

Day 3: Comfort Modelling

The final day introduces thermal comfort modelling, positioned within the
broader framework of energy demand and occupant comfort.
  • PMV/PPD metrics
  • Adaptive comfort models
  • Overheating risk assessment
  • Comfort-based design optimisation strategies
  • Material properties and thermal mass

Course requirements:  The training is tailored for architects, engineers, and designers seeking greater technical control over building performance modelling. Intermediate knowledge of Rhino and Grasshopper is required.

Software requirement: Rhino 8

Online course fees for each course: EUR 395 (+VAT). Full-time students and university teachers receive a 50% discount (proof of status required). Please note that we will confirm your seat after your payment has cleared.

Maximum number of participants for each course: 25. If there is no quorum, the course will be canceled 15 days before.

Course language: English

Educational seats are limited. Sign up now by contacting Verena!
