Rhinoceros Tutorials
Author | Christian Siebje | In this tutorial, we show an easy and fast way to generate countours from a closed 3D geometry, representing the complex form through consecutive planar plates.For this we are going to use only Rhinoceros and a few commands.

In Zeiten von Covid-19 können AR-Modelle sowohl als Arbeitsmodell für einen selbst als auch als Kommunikationsmittel in Meetings helfen. Dieses Tutorial zeigt Schritt-für-Schritt was notwendig ist um …
Grasshopper Tutorials
Author | Christian Siebje | In this tutorial, we show how to create a waffle structure in any closed 3D geometry. The tutorial covers the parametric creation of the structure, its unrolling and further numbering of the production drawings parts.For this we are going to use only Rhinoceros and Grasshopper, …
Author | Christian Siebje | In this tutorial, we show how to download and install a Grasshopper plugin, by doing it with the free nesting plugin OpenNest.After that we explain how one can quickly nest different geometries inside a stock/sheet boundary in an optimal way. GRASSHOPPER TUTORIAL #02_Nesting with OpenNest …
Author | Christian Siebje | In this tutorial, we are going to create a fully parametric wooden shelf using the finger joint technique inside of Grasshopper / Rhino. The only input used will be a closed polyline (given any shape) and some parameter sliders. Throughout the tutorial it will be …
3D Printing Tutorials
Author | Alexander Gavenea | GER: 3D-Druck ist bei weitem nicht so komplex wie es weithin angenommen wird. Die Zortrax M200 3D-Drucker in unserem FabLab OWL erledigen den größten Teil der Arbeit ganz von alleine. In diesem Tutorial möchte wir euch den kleinen Teil zeigen, den ihr als Nutzer noch …
