Study with Professor Lucia Phinney focusing on recreating and 3D printing objects using different components in Grasshopper. Iterations of simple objects, their Grasshopper definitions and 3D printed forms were put together as an educational catalogue. 3D printing gave the opportunity to see how different Grasshopper generated patterns and iterations of a specific object can change the essence of basic shapes and develop them further. The 3D printed objects were not only a final product, but also an essential component of this iterative design process.
The independent study consisted of different themes, such as furniture, minimal surfaces and terrain. Every two weeks, the goal of seeing a design in different ways were demonstrated by recreating a basic object using Grasshopper to form various iterations. The designed products were 3D printed and cataloged. Various plug-ins and definitions were introduced and documented throughout the study and presented at the end of each two week period. At the end of the study, the difference between the original object, its iterations and 3D prints were shown. Challenges, solutions, tips and good practices in 3D printing and Grasshopper were covered and explained in detail.
