WatchThe aim of the project was to design a table, which could easily be mass customized. To do that I decided that the whole table will be produced from one flat sheet of material using only one digital fabrication technique. Streamlining the process, I decided to use water jet technology for efficient fabrication, which also works with wood-like materials and doesn’t require postproduction...

It can handle hollow forms, cantilevering masses and can generally take more complex geometry then the usual section plane-section curve algorithm. This is because of an operation which determines the middle point for notch/slot to happen, instead of the usual fixed height notching.

object-e.net experimental architectures →
— Object-e architecture is a platform created in order to explore new territories in architecture with the aid of computational tools and techniques. In an abstract, theoretical way, object-e is something like a virtual architectural ‘object’, or the architectural ‘object of desire’, that gets actualized through computational processes. Therefore the aim is the constant invention of...

here is that little program that unfolds and tabs things for you, its pretty easy to use… but it only works for meshes… for rhino i export a .obj with polygons/lines, and then once unfolded i export this as a .dxf back to rhino, scale it correctly and run rhino nest to get the optimal arrangement for laser cutting.

About this project
In 2005 I began work on my first documentary, Helvetica, which looked at the worlds of typography and graphic design through the eyes of one loved/hated/ubiquitous little font. I wasn’t a designer, or even a filmmaker, just a design geek who really wanted to see a movie about fonts! After Helvetica was released in 2007, I had the idea for a second film, Objectified, ...

THE CONCEPT:
A modular, inexpensive, versatile desktop-scale CNC machine to put computer-automated machining and fabrication in the hands of creators. Whether they be hobbyists or evil scientists, small-scale manufacturers or budding inventors, the power to go from on-screen design to precision-machined product in a few mouse clicks is very exciting.

About this project
The idea is simple: Design a laser cutter and make the building process repeatable for others.
Here’s the thing. Laser cutters are traditionally expensive ($30,000 to as much as you can spend) and there are a lot of artist, hackers, architects, designers, DIYers who could do great things with them- if they could afford one, or even get regular access to one. Pretty...

Grasshopper →
For designers who are exploring new shapes using generative algorithms, Grasshopper® is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3-D modeling tools. Unlike RhinoScript, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows designers to build form generators from the simple to the awe-inspiring.
