3D-Printed Wall Systems is a workshop that teaches computational design and 3D printing workflows for fabrication-ready interior wall panels using Rhino and Grasshopper. Students follow a Design-to-Fabrication process, building custom parametric scripts with Pufferfish, Kangaroo, Weaverbird, and LunchBox to generate biomorphic, non-repetitive wall textures, then optimize panels for no-support geometry, slicing, and interlocking assembly before generating machine toolpaths and G-code. The workshop is Beginner level and concludes with each participant designing an individual signature wall panel.

About the Course

In the modern interior, walls are no longer passive boundaries. They have become canvases for architectural expression. This workshop explores the shift toward Maximum Dimension design, where 3D printing enables the creation of complex, non-repetitive, high-relief surfaces that were previously cost-prohibitive or difficult to manufacture.

By extending textures from floor to ceiling, participants will explore how immersive sculptural wall environments can be created. These surfaces behave as three-dimensional landscapes, changing with the viewer’s position and the direction of light. Rhino 3D and Grasshopper are the primary tools used throughout the workshop, providing the precise mathematical control needed to bridge the gap between creative form-finding and machine-ready form-making.

This workshop focuses on the design of bespoke, production-ready interior wall systems. Participants will investigate how a simple 2D concept can be translated into a fully articulated 3D textured surface through algorithmic logic.

Design Typology
The workshop explores design strategies driven by both manufacturing constraints and aesthetic intention, with a specific emphasis on biomorphic patterns and non-repetitive surface logic.

Technical Depth
At the core of the workshop is Grasshopper. Participants will develop custom parametric scripts to automate texture generation, panel subdivision, and joint integration for large-scale wall systems.

What You Will Learn

How to translate 2D patterns into 3D-printable relief systems
Principles of fabrication-aware design, including no-support geometries
Advanced Grasshopper workflows for integration and slicing logic
Techniques for managing large-scale data in high-resolution 3D prints
Strategies for interlocking, mounting, and assembling 3D-printed wall panels in real interiors

Methodology

The workshop follows a Design-to-Fabrication (D2F) workflow to produce construction-ready wall panels. Instead of designing form first and addressing fabrication later, manufacturing constraints are embedded directly into the design process. These include nozzle size, layer logic, structural reinforcement, and interlocking mechanisms.

Ideation Phase
Participants define key design constraints and overall wall composition, exploring typologies such as vertical-horizontal flow and bidirectional deformation.
Parametric Modeling Phase
Using Rhino and Grasshopper, participants generate 3D textured wall systems based on parameters established during ideation.
Optimization Phase
Models are refined for manufacturing and assembly, including wall thickness calibration and interlocking joint logic.
Machine Code Generation
3D geometry is prepared for printing through slicing and toolpath logic, with examples of toolpath-driven surfaces and G-Code generation.
Final Project
Each participant designs an individual signature wall using a fragmentation strategy. All projects contribute to a collective Digital Wall gallery.

Questions? We've Got Answers

I often find that complex digital designs are impossible to manufacture. How does this workshop ensure my designs can actually be built?

How do we handle the size limitations of standard 3D printers when designing interior walls?

Will I learn how to create my own unique textures, or are we just following a set template?

Does this workshop require prior experience with manufacturing machine code, like G-Code?

Some modular wall panels look like repeating tiles. Will this workshop teach me how to create continuous, organic designs instead?
