SANCTUM: Parametric Joinery and CNC-Carved Surfaces in a Room for One

Designed by Rafael Luna of Infra-Architecture Lab, SANCTUM is a plywood micro-architecture built around a parametric interlocking system and CNC-carved interior surfaces. Rhino and Grasshopper connect its sculptural form, fabrication logic, and exploration of acoustic behavior.

From Shoe Lasts to Printed Molds: An Evolving Rhino Workflow in Footwear

René Medel’s work offers a view of how Rhino workflows in footwear have expanded from modeling lasts and soles to generating internal structures and designing production tooling. Light Tube Foam Sole brings those methods together in a 3D-printed mold developed at framas.

Ceramic Craft and Digital Fabrication at Hotel Thompson Sevilla

A 50 m² ceramic lattice for Hotel Thompson Sevilla uses Rhino and Grasshopper to connect image-based geometry mapping, custom G-code generation, clay 3D printing, and a carefully coordinated on-site assembly process.

Notilus Scantling for Rhino 8 released

Notilus Software has released Notilus Scantling, a structural rule-check tool for naval architects and shipyards, delivered as a Rhino 8 plugin and a standalone desktop application.

Structural elements are not typed in; they are selected in the model. Position, panel sides, deadrise, plate thickness and profile dimensions are measured from the Rhino objects, and results are shown back on the geometry. Change the hull, re-read the model, and the check follows the boat.

Key features:

- Elements defined from Rhino geometry, one per selected object

- Design loads derived automatically from vessel particulars

- Plates, stiffeners, girders and pillars checked against as-built scantlings

- Utilisation colours and design pressures shown on the model

- Traceable report with the rule clause behind every requirement

- Supported rules: DNV-RU-HSLC Pt.3, RINA RES31, ISO 12215-5 (steel, aluminium and FRP) and ISO 11812

- Works directly with Notilus Composite: laminates and stiffeners are read from the same library, with no re-entry

Notilus Scantling works with Rhino 8 for Windows.
