Title: Waffle Structures in Rhino Grasshopper- From Free-Form Geometry to Fabrication
Tutor: Agata Kycia
This course guides you step-by-step through the entire process, from modeling free-form geometry to slicing and generating interlocking waffle components, and preparing your elements for fabrication with unrolled layouts and labeled tags. The online class is taught by Agata Kycia, an architect and researcher with 14+ years of Rhinoceros experience who specializes in computational design, digital fabrication, and material science; she earned her doctorate at TU Berlin for research on self-shaping textiles and currently teaches CAD and generative design at the International University.
By the end of the online class, you'll be able to confidently generate fabrication-ready waffle structures for projects of any scale. Join the course and develop a clear, hands-on understanding of digital-to-physical workflows.
What you’ll learn:
- How to model free-form 3D geometries in Rhino
- Create a waffle grid system using Grasshopper
- Design interlocking structural elements with precision
- Unroll and lay out elements for laser cutting, CNC, or manual assembly
- Add automatic numbering and text tags for organized fabrication
- Export ready-to-cut drawings with all necessary markings
Who is this course for?
- Architecture and design students
- Fabrication professionals and model makers
- Grasshopper users seeking practical workflows
- Anyone interested in parametric structures and digital making
Course requirements:
- Rhino + Grasshopper installed (Rhino 6, 7, 8)
- Basic knowledge of Rhino and Grasshopper
- No previous fabrication experience required—just curiosity and creativity!

This course sounds incredibly practical for bridging design and fabrication. I like that it covers the whole workflow, from free-form modeling in Rhino to preparing labeled waffle components ready for CNC or laser cutting. Looks really useful for both students and professionals.
