What software and fabrication tools will I need for this workshop?

You will use Rhinoceros 3D, Grasshopper 3D, and Cura, alongside desktop 3D printers using PLA filament with 0.4mm or 0.8mm nozzles.

Is prior experience in 3D printing or Grasshopper required to enroll?

No prior experience is required, as the course is suitable for all levels and includes an introductory session to prepare beginners for the advanced topics.

What specific 3D printing control techniques will be taught in Grasshopper?

You will learn algorithmic pattern generation, parametric grid deformation, surface angle analysis for printability, and custom G-code toolpath generation.

What real-world 3D printing scales and applications are covered?

You will explore fabrication techniques for desktop FDM 3D printing using PLA spools, as well as concepts for large-format FDM printers and concrete 3D printing for interior or facade applications.

What practical physical project will I build by the end of the workshop?

You will design, optimize, and complete a 3D-printed modular interior wall panel prototype composed of nine interconnected elements ready for assembly.

This workshop will teach you how to design and fabricate custom 3D-printed wall panels for interior or facade applications. Through a mix of presentations, tutorials, and hands-on sessions, you’ll learn essential design principles, explore pattern generation, and gain control over the fabrication process using Rhino, Grasshopper, and desktop 3D printers.

3D-Printed Wall Panels workshop focuses on both design and fabrication. You will start by developing your panel designs in Rhino and Grasshopper, integrating connections and assembly systems, and learning how to adapt your ideas for 3D printing. On the fabrication side, you’ll create custom toolpaths and G-codes in Grasshopper, optimizing the 3D printing process for your designs.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have completed a modular interior wall panel composed of nine elements, ready for assembly.

The workshop will introduce different approaches to designing a 3D-printable wall panel system. You will explore techniques applicable to home 3D printers using conventional materials like PLA filament spools and larger-scale 3D printing technologies, including concrete 3D printing and large-format FDM printers.
