Parametric Effects Grasshopper / Laser Cutting Workshop

Parametric Effects is an intense 2-day workshop focused on the computational design and digital fabrication of surface patterns through parametric manipulation in Grasshopper, Rhino's parametric modelling plug-in. The workshop will familiarise participants with the concepts of algorithmic design and associative modelling through focused design exercises, investigating possibilities of emergent patterns through the differentiation of simple geometries with Grasshopper. In addition to understanding the preparation of various materials for digital fabrication, each student will have the opportunity to create their own design with the use of our CNC laser cutter. Objects produced will have the opportunity to be developed further and showcased on the online jewellery and product design shop cyberth.com. The design-based workshop will be supported by a series of presentations related to the workshop content. All participants will receive 25% off all digital fabrication services from 1+2D Digital Workshop for 3 months.

The workshop is open to both students and professionals in architecture, industrial design, interior design, fashion, and any other related fields. To ensure maximum time with tutors, the workshop is limited to 8 participants. All participants should have basic knowledge of Rhino prior to enrolment.
