New 5-Axis Swarfing Patterns

The Rhino / Grasshopper CAMel plugin is now running the 5-Axis machine, generating G-Code entirely within the Grasshopper modeling environment. This supports a rapid workflow for experimentation with the possibilities offered by 5-Axis milling, such as complex SWARF patterns as

PARAMETRIC STEEL

Work in Progress by Akihiro Moriya, a student in my FABCRAFT spring seminar. The steel component geometry is produced parametrically using a grasshopper definition controlled by the surface geometry. The steel is plasma-cut on our combination 5-Axis mill and plasma

Adaptive Surface Systems

A working prototype utilizing the new “Firefly” plugin for Rhino / Grasshopper. The adaptive surface reacts to changing light conditions, reshaping the pliable insert and sending data back to the digital model in real-time. The 2-way data stream allows simultaneous
