In this lesson, I will talk about a technique which you can use to fabricate a freeform surface with paper or cardboard. First I will explain the restrictions for the Geometry and then I will make the sections which the panels will sit on. We will also talk about simple nesting in Grasshopper.

In this Grasshopper example file, you can utilize the Nautilus plugin to design a parametric Twisted Torus.
In this Grasshopper example file, you can model twisted torus strips and convert them into a spaceframe and panels using the Lunchbox Plugin.
In this Grasshopper example file, you can convert a series of curves into a mesh with a 3d groove pattern using the Nautilus and Weaverbird plugins.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will learn how to model a parametric joint on the corners of a box with controllable parameters.
In this Grasshopper example file, you can simulate an optimized path from an origin point/points toward a set of targets. The strategy involves branching at diverging points.

In this Grasshopper example file, you can design a parametric facade using four different techniques.
In this Grasshopper contour tutorial, we will learn how to extract a series of solids from a part of a mesh by defining the direction and length with a single line.
In this Grasshopper Millipede tutorial, you can learn how to model a series of smooth connecting columns to a roof and then analyze it using Millipede's Finite Element Analysis.
In this Grasshopper Kangaroo tutorial, you can discover how to simulate the flow of a series of particles on a solid and then convert it into a mesh.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, you can learn how to generate Perlin noise on a surface and convert it into a solid.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, we will learn how to generate a structural grid from a series of grid points.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, we will explore how to create a simple parametric gear and a radial mechanism, and also include an example file for the Iris mechanism.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, we will learn how to create a series of parametric solids using the "Tangent Arcs" component.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, we will model a parametric brick wall on a NURBS surface with a rectangular projection. We can also adjust the thickness of the bricks based on point attractors.

Maybe better to use Open Nest?

Of course it would be much easier.
The tutorial aimed to show the fabrication method it self.
