Additive Manufacturing of Ceramics

Additive manufacturing (AM) is vastly developing across the industrial landscape and has recently expanded outside of the traditional polymeric and metallic-based materials. Ceramics are an ever-present material in the architectural field, but there has been minimal evolution in its associated manufacturing processes.

The limitations of additive manufacturing of ceramics are quickly evolving and will soon create new potentials for architectural products and applications. This paper by Teddy Slowik offers an overview of these limitations that are tested and examined through a case study.

Parametric Building

In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will learn how to design a parametric building by controlling the roof height at the front and back, and creating a folding structure.

Tree-Like Structure

In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will learn how to model a parametric tree-like structure using a series of lines.

Multipipe Structure

In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will create a parametric structure based on a series of tree-like line connections and then transform it into a shade structure.

Mountain Mesh

In this Grasshopper example file, you will deform a snowflake mesh on a closed boundary curve by defining a point attractor using the Nautilus plugin.

Fillet Edge

In this Grasshopper example file, you will fillet the edges of multiple intersecting closed Breps under parametric conditions using the Fillet Edge component.

Parametric Wall

In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will create a parametric wall or ceiling using diamond panels from the LunchBox plugin and a base surface influenced by point or curve attractors.

Relative Items

In this Grasshopper example file, you will design a parametric truss while learning how to use the "Relative Items" component.

Parametric Vase

In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will create a parametric vase by twisting a morphed form on a NURBS surface and controlling the details of the final mesh.

Planar Curves Shell

In this Grasshopper Kangaroo example file, you will design a parametric shell by defining planar curves as boundaries, creating holes within it, and specifying the fixed parts' locations to anchor it to the ground.

Circle Fusion

In this Grasshopper example file, you will design a parametric facade on a rectangular surface, where circles fuse together to create a pattern controlled by points.

Field Contour

In this Grasshopper Dendro tutorial, you will create a series of contours from a mesh generated by fields with point attractors.

Belousov Reaction

In this Grasshopper example file, you will apply the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction to a sphere mesh and deform its vertices based on the colors using a Graph Mapper.

Voronoi Facade

In this Grasshopper example file, you will design a parametric Voronoi facade using the Voronoi 3D component, with added control over the design through point attractors.

Weave Mesh

In this Grasshopper Dendro tutorial, you will create a 3D weaving pattern on a NURBS surface by defining a parametrically controllable unit module.

Pathway Frames

In this Grasshopper example file, you will design a series of parametric rectangular structures oriented along a planar curve path, with the path's height controlled by a Graph Mapper.

Kangaroo Mesh

In this Grasshopper Kangaroo example file, you will learn how to deform a parametric mesh using a series of inner points within a rectangle and then remove those points to create holes in the final mesh.

Non-linear Voxelization

In this Grasshopper Dendro tutorial, you will create a parametric vase using a series of graph-mapper-controlled polygons and non-linear voxelization of curves with the Dendro plugin.

Polar Shell

In this Grasshopper example file, you will learn how to design a parametric polar shell using the Graph Mapper and Arc SED components.

Contour Chair

Freeform Balconies

In this Grasshopper example file, you will design a parametric building with freeform balconies using the "Noise on Mesh" component from the Nautilus plugin.

Rotating ARcs

In this Grasshopper example file, you will learn how to design a parametric pavilion by rotating a series of arcs around one another.

Box Pavilion

In this Grasshopper example file, you will learn how to design a parametric box pavilion using a NURBS surface and column locations as points.

Mesh Balloons

In this Grasshopper Kangaroo tutorial, you will create a series of expanding balloon meshes within a boundary and then voxelize them using the Dendro plugin.

Circle Pack pt Attractor

In this Grasshopper Kangaroo tutorial, you will create a series of parametric circles for circle packing on a NURBS surface, controlled by point attractors that indicate the minimum and maximum radius.
