Grasshopper Biber

Biber is a plug-in for Rhino-Grasshopper which enables parametric joinery. It enables the joinery industry to take advantage of the parametric design workflow and makes design and production easier and more affordable. this plug-in is being developed in collaboration with Hochschule Mainz, Germany (Prof. Klaus Teltenkötter, Sascha Urban)

Plugin provide the following features:

• An easy to understand and implement workflow for building complex joinery assembly
• A large join library providing both classic join types such as mitered, butt, lap … and advanced join types such as hybrid, custom profile joints…
• Corner clean up (remove collisions around the corners)
• Use of actual material
• Ability to incorporate different material and join in the same assembly
• Easy unfolding and nesting
• Different options to design and build sub-structure and scaffolding to guide and support the installation
• Simulation of assembly sequence. (Beta)
• Add cut-outs, features , pins and dowels to the joints
• Create custom joints
