Getting to know... macu4: 3D Printed Arm Prosthetics!
Macu4 is a Swiss startup using parametric design and 3D printing to radically transform how arm prosthetics are made. They saw that traditional offerings were not only heavy to wear and expensive, but the whole process took too much time. They knew they could shorten the entire process by using parametric design to easily customize each patient's forearm and then 3D printing to manufacture each part. The only missing link was finding a solution allowing them to host their Grasshopper file on their website and output the suitable production file for every patient. So how did they solve it? Read along to find out!

New to Rhino or Grasshopper?
We have a Getting Started web site to help you get going in Rhino. It's full of short video tutorials. Most are less than five minutes long. The various topics include tutorials on navigation, selecting objects, modeling strategies, and Grasshopper basics. Both Windows and Mac are covered.
And we've recently added a few new ones.

MPDA Parametric Design Master 7th edition (October 2022 - June 2023)
UPCSchool MPDA Master in Parametric Design in Architecture starts its new edition this October.
For the past six years, MPDA has proudly trained generations of computational designers to explore technology efficiency. Using Grasshopper as an educational tool, MPDA is oriented to the integration of computational tools and digital manufacturing technology in building systems and architectural design. During the master, several plugins from the Grasshopper ecosystem are used, some of them with specific workshops by the authors themselves.

Àgora València (by Arqueha + Miguel Arraiz)
The use of parametric design applied to the enclosure has provided the ability to generate a fully controlled distribution of slats, choosing the density and position of each one in the racks and obtaining a unique design for each rack.
This has been possible thanks to Rhino.Inside Revit, which has allowed working in a coordinated manner with Grasshopper and Revit to generate both the geometry and its associated parameters that have been attributed differently to each of the more than 1000 pieces that make up the racks.
Thanks to these processes, the waste generated, the work carried out and the transport of materials have been reduced, saving significant amounts of CO2 and energy. Àgora València is also a space studied following thermal comfort strategies.
The 3D model used for analyzing sunlight and outdoor comfort has been extracted directly from the BIM model and processed with Ladybug.
A project as unique as Ágora València, with the high level of detail it presents, as well as the precision required in coordinating industrialized elements produced by different agents, would not have been possible without the use of Rhinoceros.

Simulate non-visual lighting in Grasshopper
Why is this relevant?
Our eyes have a dual function: They allow us to see, but they also mediate several psychological and physiological (non-visual) responses. Light reaching the eyes regulates circadian rhythms and affects alertness. Since we spend most of our time indoors, building designers are responsible for providing healthy indoor lighting. A simulation tool is now available to help meet this challenge.
New version of the Lark simulation tool
Lark Spectral Lighting 2.0 is available on food4Rhino with new features, components, and templates to investigate non-visual lighting design. Lark is a plugin that helps architects, designers, and researchers examine a lighting design's effect on circadian rhythm and alertness.
The updates in Lark 2.0 include:
- Ability to run daylight and electric light simulation
- Calculation of spectral irradiance and output metrics relevant to the non-visual effects of light according to the CIE (α-opic metrics)
- Analysis workflow that accounts for the direction in which light reaches the human eye, which is relevant for non-visual effects
- Simulation of a period of light exposure and analysis to optimize alertness according to a light-driven biological model

Adaptive Parts Environment, new Grasshopper plugin
Like dynamic blocks … just better
Even without Grasshopper knowledge, everyone should be able to access Grasshopper’s parametric power. Therefore, Rhenso GmbH has developed Adaptive Parts for Rhino 3D—objects with dynamic geometry and properties—that everyone can easily manipulate with a user-friendly UI.
The users know best which tools they need, and most off-the-shelf CAD software does not provide them. So, this plugin intends to enable everybody to design their own tools for improving workflows that fit their needs best.
Adaptive parts are similar to dynamic blocks but way more powerful. They can be almost anything you can imagine and build with Grasshopper.
To use an Adaptive Part, Grasshopper knowledge is not required. To create one, it is.
Adaptive Parts are created in Grasshopper and wrap design and process knowledge into closed and shareable bits. They can be shared with your team members, only exposing the relevant parameters without exposing the (sometimes confusing) Grasshopper canvas.
Get more information on its webpage...
"The Adaptive Parts Environment Plug-In is currently Work-In-Progress (WIP) and being actively developed. We are currently adding new features and integrating user feedback with every WIP release. Our plan is to be feature complete and stable for a commercial lease in late 2022."
