This project takes an 3D topographic modeled object as an input, in this case a model of the Matterhorn Mountain, and outputs a representation of the model for slicing. The project uses 2D and 3D concurrently.

I coded a 3D slicer using Grasshopper, Python, and Rhino, then tested the results against Prusa Slicer

Use parametric design in Grasshopper to design three tables and 3D print models of two.

3D Parametric Design and Slicing for Laser Cutting

I coded three computational designs in Processing, one of which used the Turtle library. I went on to laser etch and cut two designs.

In this blog post I begin my exploration of computational design by looking for examples of such design in the real world. Computational...
