Generative Furniture Design (GFD3D) launched

Generative Furniture Design (GFD3D) is a community of like-minded furniture designers who are exploring new shapes using generative algorithms with Grasshopper. GFD3D is the place to learn, teach and share new methods of digital furniture design and fabrication.

Grasshopper is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3D modeling tools. Unlike RhinoScript, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows designers to build form generators from the simple to the awe-inspiring.
