Creative flat pack furniture
 |
| Final projects at FSU's Graduate Furniture Design |
Professor Marlo Ransdell Ph.D., IDEC and her student Amanda Cleveland show us their final projects.
Graduate Furniture Design: Students were engaged for six weeks in designing and fabricating two full-scale furniture pieces constructed from one 4’x8’ sheet of 3/4” maple
plywood. Criteria for the project were: create two designs in Rhino
software that could be CNC manufactured and flat pack shipped, have the ability
to be constructed with little to no tools and hardware, and minimize material
waste. Students were given no limit on the number of scale models to produce and
had classroom access to all prototyping equipment (additive, subtractive, and
laser) for small-scale prototype production. All prototypes
created were evaluated for form, function, and material application and
photographed by students. Final full-scale prototypes were
developed on a 4’x8’ CNC router at the Facility for Arts Research at Florida
State University and evaluated.

GE Jet Engine Bracket Challenge
General Electric just announced the ten finalists for the GE Jet Engine Bracket Challenge.
The contest took place on Grabad.com, the famous online 3D models archive and had a key point of 3D printing technology.
Among the ten finalists there is a project entirely modeled in Rhino by Andreas Anedda and CorsiRhino.it support. They experiment in a new way of modeling in Rhino: a basic mesh was relaxed with Grasshopper and Kangaroo to obtain a fluent shape. After this first step, T-Splines was used again to edit the mesh and reinforce the bracket, creating several rims and cavity to get a stronger and lighter structure similar to a bone. Using these tools, they were able to design a bracket capable of distributing the stress in a very efficient way, creating a complex shape in a relatively short time.

Archsim Energy Modeling for Grasshopper
UrbanDaylight availability simulations
The UrbanDaylight is a Rhino 5 and Grasshopper plugin to enable designers to simulate and evaluate the daylight potential of large urban designs. The tool automates exterior DAYSIM simulations for all buildings in the city model. Given the solar radiation on the facades, it uses a generalized impulse response to compute the interior illumination on an hour-by-hour basis. This allows us to use the data for climate based metrics. You can download the paper and slides from the SimBuild 2012 presentation.

FioredelCielo, Viterbo, Italy - 3 September 2013
If you happen to be in Central Italy in the evening of September 3rd, 2013, you might want to take a drive to the medieval town of Viterbo and watch the 'FioredelCielo - La Macchina di Santa Rosa', a 30-meter tower that will be transported through the narrow streets of the town in an event dated back to the 13th cenctury and that is in the process of being listed as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.
'FioredelCielo' is the name of the competition winning design by the two aerospace architects Arturo Vittori and Andreas Vogler, founders of Architecture and Vision. The tower was designed using Rhino.
Candle flames, over 1200 computer-controlled LEDs, and thousands of rose petals falling from the tower will contribute to create a sophisticated scenography to emotionally move the people participating in the event.
Seascape Prototype #1 designed using Rhino
Seascape Prototype #1, Verena Vogler from Verena Vogler.
Some of the main challenges that our
civilization is facing are related to environmental depletion and the
restoration of damaged habitats. Can we slow down the Global Coral Crisis? Coral
Reefs in coastal areas have been depleted by human action, endangering
vulnerable coastlines and habitats.
Seascape Prototype #1 is an underwater experiment
about Computational Design and Ecological Manufacturing. It is a story of
creation in one of Earth's most challenging environments: the ocean, where local
natural material and energy resources occur in abundance, ready to be used for
a novel way of creating. A solid self-replicating, self-repairing
and self-sustaining underwater structure is produced taking advantage of the
mineral accretion process.
An
innovative way of creating: This experiment related to Computer-based Ecological
Manufacturing will be the base to propose and develop further sets of
computational design and fabrication strategies inspired by natural reef
formations with the focus on the integration of form, material and process. Rhino is a powerful tool to incorporate physical form-finding procedures as
computer-based analysis, simulation, scanning and production to further explore
how process and material can generate a design form.

Pencil vase designed with Rhino
Aleksandar Dimitrov of AD-3D, designed a new vase that is fabricated by 3D printing. The Pencil Vase uses 3 hexagonal pencils to turn any glass, coffee cup, or soup bowl into a beautiful minimalist style vase.
All one needs for assembly is a set of 3 standard hexagonal pencils with erasers to avoid sliding on glossy surfaces. Pencil vase is made of laser sintered polyamide, flexible and yet strong enough to support 1-3 small flowers. The inspiration for this design is to provide comfort and gentle flower care with a compact hi-tech 3D printed corner piece and everyday materials.

Are you sure? Have you checked?
Are you checking your designs early and often?
There is no reason not to. The simulation and analysis tools for Rhino 5 keep getting better.
Scan&Solve™ has always provided finite elements in Rhino without meshing. Now they are offering two additional extensions to their tools.
First is SnSMesh. This version of Scan&Solve™ allows users to perform stress simulation on mesh geometry within Rhino. This version has the same functionality as the latest edition of Scan&Solve™ but works directly on closed meshes created in Rhino or imported from other applications that can export .stl, .wrl, .ply, and other mesh formats recognized by Rhino. That means you can directly analyze any part that you can 3D scan. No need to first reverse engineer.
Second is SnSScript. This scriptable version of Scan&Solve™ allows users to automate simulation processes that otherwise require user interaction. In the scriptable version, most of the functionality of the original Scan&Solve™ plug-in is exposed for calls from RhinoScript, including simulation setup, simulation computation, and solution visualization and querying.

Footbridge designed in Grasshopper
Cyprus Competition:
2011 - 1st Award
Architect: Elina Pattichi
Client: The Municipality of Pafos City
This proposal for a footbridge on the Tasos Papadopoulos Avenue won the first prize in the competition in Pafos, Cyprus.
The design of the footbridge ensures safe pedestrian and cyclist circulation between the adjacent schools and the residential areas. It also creates a public landmark for this problematic boundary between the adjacent neighborhoods because of the wide avenue.
The unique characteristic of this proposal is that the construction method aims to integrate the bridge’s circulation with the support system of the footbridge. The stairs and the ramps become an integral part of the footbridge support system and are sculpted together with the main horizontal deck (95 meters long and 3-6 meters wide). So the footbridge behaves as a curved cantilever. This sculpting method is highlighted by the transformation of the landscape as the bridge foundation pushes the ground to create the steps and sitting areas on the ground. The circulation on the ground determines the landscape design with sitting areas.
In the middle of the bridge, the corridor becomes wider while the hole pattern becomes denser. This gradient of the pattern is a result of Grasshopper which aims to highlight in a macro-scale the circulation intersection in the middle of the bridge and in a micro-scale the position of the holes on the metallic panels which decrease the panel’s heat capacity, weight and wind loads and create positions for the lighting on the ground.
The bridge was modelled in Grasshopper.
