Family of Products_WindowPlanters

This family of products is a Planter Collection meant to be hanging next to a window. It serves different types of plants, according to different sun and shade needs. The product is composed of two parts: the “Body”, which holds the soil and plant roots; and the “Parasite”, which provides shade and structural support to the plant.

Product Families Assignment

The final assignment for the Spring 2015 term, Product Families, can be viewed at the following location:

Students are asked to design and produce a family of 3D printable products with grasshopper, and to iteratively print family members to help inform the design process.

Stalasso Table by PATH

Hi All!

I was looking for 3d printed ceramics+wood and found this very simple+beautiful table.. Cool thing is:

“A single ‘definition’ accommodates the generation of surface, deformation, material thickness, variability and tolerances and even cost of 3D printing. The same ‘definition’ could be used to generate any number of configurations and variations, with very little preparation for fabrication.” patharc.com/portfolio/stalasso-table

Parametric Seating Part 2

This is the contemporary city bench by Rocker Lange Architects.

I had a trouble creating same curves in Grasshopper, and then control them as I wanted.

It looks that Brep is not working but it is. I think it cuts the frames and that’s why. But it is working.

This is the sketch of mine, The idea how I wanted create in Grasshopper

Hare are some GIF animations

It’s my firs time doing it, I’m happy haw it looks, I wanted to make it different way but hope next time I’ll make that happen.

Final Seating Assignment

The 3 parameters that I was able to explore with this project was the density of the number of metal mesh pipes that constructed the chair, the radius of the pipes of the chair, and lastly the location of the pipes in the frame of the chair seat…

# of Metal Mesh ranged from 1 to 40

Distance between Pipes ranged from .1 to 1

The radius of the pipes ranged from .1 to 2

Here is the first one… I was pretty happy with how this came out, except I was never able to find out how to trim the object to get the shape I wanted, instead of just the whole area.

Next I was able to change the radius of the pipes that created the chair…

Finally, the location of the pipes.. This one came on kind of unintentionally. I didn’t understand this parameter exactly. It involved the “Domain” on the Range button.
