Controlmad's Summer Workshop: Design and Parametric Fabrication

 




This course is focused on getting knowledge in 3D modeling with Rhinoceros and parametric design with Grasshopper, obtaining actual results with the construction of a large-scale prototype as a final project thanks to digital fabrication tools.

Students will not only learn how to model in 3D but will also implement various strategies to obtain structures of complex models, analyze, calculate, and interact with the physical environment, with the opportunity of manufacturing different models with CNC technology, like cutting laser, milling machine, and 3D printers. The final goal is to create, design, and 3D model a cool object, prototype or sculpture using Rhino and Grasshopper and make it real with the digital machines we have.

This VI edition will be in a hybrid format: Part I will be entirely online. Part II (optional) can be followed online or onsite:

Part I Online (3 weeks):
  • 3D Modeling with Rhinoceros
  • Parametric Design with Grasshopper I
  • Parametric Design with Grasshopper II

Part II Onsite or Online (1 week):
  • Digital Fabrication Systems (28 hours)

Part II Onsite or Online (1 week):
  • Digital Fabrication Systems (28 hours)
