Design Morphine's webinar Plotter Paths V1.0 teaches a complete Grasshopper workflow for computational pen plotting, from generative geometry to physical output.
Instead of focusing only on design algorithms, the session follows the full making pipeline:
- Setting up a paper and machine workspace physically and digitally
- Creating a simple plotter art algorithm
- Cleaning and validating geometry
- Optimizing drawing order to reduce travel and cycle time
- Converting curves into plottable format
- Visualizing drawn and travel moves, and creating basic G-code
Participants will learn how to think about plotter drawing as machine-aware toolpaths rather than just an image or curves.
The session covers practical production details such as:
- Margins and bounds checks
- Plottability warnings and errors
- Safe return moves
- Setup commands
- Paper alignment checks
- Multi-layer registration techniques
By the end, participants will understand how to build a reusable Grasshopper pipeline for turning computational drawings into cleaner, faster, and more reliable pen plotter outputs.
