In the first module parametric modeling techniques ( Grasshopper ) with the use of CAD-CAM systems will be exposed. The workshop will take 7.5 hours and it is composed of two modules. The workshop - by José Pedro Sousa (FAUP/DARQ/OpoLab) - will provide to a broad audience (students, professionals, and non professionals) the opportunity to experiment and try new methods of approaching the issues outlined in the conference cycle. This symposium brings together in Portugal, ISCTE ‐IUL, a set of internationally renowned investigators in the field of Digital Fabrication and Architecture. Symposium Digital Fabrication - a State of Art If ever I came across an application that earns its keep, this is it.' Ian Boyd, of Dauphin Human Design Group, raves about the changes, 'Since we started using SnS, not a single component analysed has been returned with structural failure. Welding, back bars, clips, and steel specifications were all analysed before the prototype was built. With careful redesign, the chair ended up with a battle tank frame, but with the original aesthetics. The Eddy chair started as a fragile frame, breaking in a 'tip back failure'. Manufacturing discusses the design options with Engineering, eliminating the step of shipping samples between offices and waiting weeks for a fail/nofail report. Now Dauphin uses Scan&Solve (SnS), a plug-in for Rhino, almost daily to do stress tests on Rhino models and solve any design problems with the chair components. If the chair fails, the chair is redesigned.

Each design is put through stringent performance tests. There will be a newer one available before the expiration date.ĭauphin Human Design Group take pride in the chairs they design. They put a lot of effort in testing and development. New versions will be available every week or so. Don't worry if the build you are using is about to expire. We don't expect the first commercial release to be ready until next year. There is still much to do to port the rest of the functionality and refine the interface. Most of the core functionality has been ported from Windows and is very stable. new editing tools (gumball and subobject editing)Įveryone is invited to download and use the OS X version of Rhino while it is in development.The latest 5.0 Windows Beta changes, including:.Note: OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and PowerPC are no longer supported. It requires OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later. This Mac version will automatically run in 64-bit mode on Core 2 Duo Intel processors or later, so running out of memory should no longer be a problem. The Rhino 5 for Mac version supports 64 and 32-bit Intel architectures.
