Digital Fabrication Work

Had the opportunity last week to sit on a review of Maciej Kaczynski's Digital Fabrication class here at University of Michigan. The class was taught in tandem with David Pigram's Rhinoscript class. The student groups were made up of student's enrolled in both classes - so each project was scripted and fabricated out of steel or aluminum. I thought the work was outstanding and demonstrated a high degree sophistication with the tools. Below are a few iPhone shots.

Rust Belt: Bob Bradfield, Bruce Findling, Mark Meier, Clay Montgomery


Dragonsloth: Bryan Alcorn, Lauren Bebry, Ben Hagenhofer-Daniell, Mikhail Kim, Jesse Wetzel

Rhino + Grasshopper: Parametric Truss 2



This is a remake of an old tutorial - as the data structures in the most recent version (06.0059) of grasshopper have changed - and the old way of constructing this surface will no longer work. This is a good beginning coverage of the parameter viewer tool and dealing with data trees - shows how you can use the tool for splitting a longer list of paths into smaller ones. For reference you can upload the definition here.
