This video is from my class at CUNY called Introduction to Computation and Fabrication. It covers creating geometry using the surface morph. Warning this video is a little bit long.
View ArticleLaser Cutter Workflow: Alternate Unfolding
This tutorial is from my class at CUNY. It covers a laser cutter workflow, but it is a little bit more intelligent regarding the nesting a "unfolding" of the surfaces. It's also a bit more efficient...
View ArticleCUNY: Image Map Component
This tutorial introduces the class to the image map component. We are using this component to create a millable surfce with our 3-axis mills. The tutorial is geared toward fabrication with our...
