Year:

2022

Tools:

Grasshopper, Rhino, Python, Excel integration, CNC post-processing tools

Outcomes:

Rule-based parametric system generating CNC-ready manufacturing data.

Context

This workflow was designed to translate parametric design logic into directly fabricable CNC manufacturing data.

The system integrates rule-based geometry generation with fabrication constraints, ensuring dimensional accuracy and assembly logic.

The objective was to bridge the gap between conceptual parametric design and production-ready outputs.

Fabrication workflows often require manual translation between design intent and machine-ready files.

Key challenges:

  • Embedding manufacturing constraints into parametric logic
  • Generating consistent modular components
  • Automating data export for CNC machines
  • Minimizing manual error in production stages

The workflow needed to guarantee reliability at scale.
