The first example constrains a random point field, and automatically meshes the resulting…

Just getting started on a new project: Complex 3D Swarfing and Assembly.

We are recreating the Aalto Vase using 5-Axis Swarfing to cut both the inner and outer profiles in a series of slices, assembling into a compound curved object. This will lead to more difficult and interesting applications of 3D Swarf tooling. More to come soon.

Partially completed Parametric Tower with Plasma-Cut unique steel node components, generated via Rhino GH definition. Student: Akihiro Moriya.

Parametric Steel components for a prototype landscape pavilion, produced in Grasshopper and plasma cut. The components are assembled into a tower form using linear wood spanning members. The work is part of the FABCRAFT seminar component strategies, focusing on large-scale fabrication & customized manufacturing. Student: Akihiro…
