## FAQ

### 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.
