Embodied Computation: Exploring Roboforming for the Mass-Customization of Architectural Components
Advisors: Jeremy Ficca, Josh Bard, David Kosbie
Alex J Fischer.com/thesis

Parametrichouse: What I learned from my research:

• Designs stemming from material understanding and hands-on making will be more informed.

• There is a demand for mass-customized.architectural elements

• Roboforming is an efficient method for fabricating small batch sizes of unique parts.

• There does not exist a software for Roboforming.

Conclusion

• Design and Implement a Process Chain for Roboformingat CarnegieMellon’sDfabLab.

• Utilize this Process Chain to experiment and learnmore about Roboforming.

• Output an best-use example of an application of Roboforming in an architectural context.

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
