ETH Zurich develops formwork
Researchers at ETH Zurich have used 3D-printed formwork elements made from recyclable mineral foam to create a pre-cast concrete slab, which they say is lighter and better insulated while using 70 per cent less material.
Parametric Lampshade 02
In this Grasshopper Script, you can model a parametric lampshade by defining a series of circles which will give the overall shape of the lamp and also give the ribs a rotation.
Sort List + Substrate
In this Paracourse Lesson, we will learn how to use the “Substrate” combined with the “Sort List” component to sort the random areas of the substrate pattern and give them a gradient color.
