Week 2: CAD

Goal: Get a CAD design for our Final Project

The design is based on getting a skin which expands and contracts to reduce its size a third part by folding its faces.
The work involves parameterize the surface using Rhino and Grasshopper, from the surface triangulation and by folding and unfolding the faces we get the motion needed to reduce the surface.

 

 

Grasshopper definition:

Rhino results:

 

Expanding and contraction of the model changing the initioal parameter:
