3D-Printing Innovations with FDM

The workshop will combine presentations, tutorials, and hands-on exercises with live – printing sessions. Participants will apply the concepts learned through practical design exercises, focusing on small-scale interior design objects (up to 10 cm / 4 inches) to ensure feasible printing times.A typical workflow will involve generating a base geometry, creating a custom toolpath for the object, and defining parameters for the 3D printing process in Rhino and Grasshopper.

Throughout this workshop, you’ll quickly learn the basics of 3D printing, including different materials and essential parameters, followed by extensive manipulation of these parameters. We’ll go beyond the default settings of slicing software by generating custom G-Codes with Grasshopper. You’ll be able to experiment with and optimize the printing process to suit your creative needs.
