8. Computational couture¶

In this week I enjoied my experiences in the fascinating world of parametric pattern design. I made some first designs with Rhinoceross Grasshopper and so experimented with lovely forms. 3D printing on textiles was also very exiting part of theis week.

Everywhere in the nature we can see such pattern like this of pomergranate and similar.

Research¶

" Grasshopper is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3-D modeling tools. "

Voronoi pattern¶

I wanted to learn how to design such pattern in 3D and used this youtube tutorial: Voronoi pattern on random surface by Thomas Zwart

At the end there was one mistake which I could not find our where it came from. Hope when I get more experience using Grasshopper that I can find the solution for this file.

Simple Polyline for 3D print testing¶

Another experiment (which I did at the begining) was simple Polyline which I just designed using Fusion 360 before I learned to work with Grasshopper. With this I just wanted to see how 3D printing on textile works.
