Prepared 3D Surfaces in Rhino
Delsin Carbonell design auxetics structures modeling surfaces rhinoWith the goal of designing and creating my own elastic geodesic grids, I prepared some 3D surfaces in Rhino that I wish to approximate with a grid structure.
I first started with making a dome shape. It is simple and basic, but helped teach me how to make some other designs.
For example, I designed more of an abstract blanket type surfaces made from two lofted curves.
In an attempt to design a 3D boat hull that can be eventually fabricated into a 2D to 3D elastic geodesic grid, I made a simple design:
This design is more basic canoe shaped, but it can be easily turned in an elastic geodesic grid due to its easy shape.
Next week, I plan to have laser-cut and assembled these designs to have them in a physical collection of grids where I can test different construction materials.
