Parametric Table

2 08 2009

The aim of the project was to design a table, which could easily be mass customized. To do that I decided that the whole table will be produced from one flat sheet  of material using  only one digital fabrication technique. Streamlining the process, I decided to use water jet technology for efficient fabrication, which also works with wood-like materials and doesn’t require postproduction finishing.

The whole project is done as a parametric definition in Grasshopper. At the end when all the details were embedded it turned out to be quite messy. As this is still a first version approaching to be prototyped I intend to modify and clean it up later on.

Hi!
Could you tell me which software was used to create this animation? Is there a plug-in for rhino?
Many Thanks

That was done by using Grasshopper, which is a parametric plugin for Rhinoceros.

Thanks for the reply. But is there an option to animate in Grasshopper? If so could you tell me how?

Thank you!

you can easily animate a parameter from Number Slider (right click->Animate..)
It is a bit more complicated when your parametric definition is controlled by few parameters. Here for the purpose of this animation I did it rather simple by creating one parameter which was controlling all the others.

Oh I see! Thank you so much! :)
