In groups of two, using Grasshopper, generate toolpaths to create a complex milled surface without the use of any original surface geometry. Watch the four videos below on how to construct your Grasshopper definition and simulate the results in RhinoCam.
For class on 3/5/13, you and your partner should bring Grasshopper definitions as well as at least one “baked” curve variation each (2 variations per group minimum) and the associated RhinoCam STL simulation files. Simulations should us a 1/2” diameter ball end mill and should be approximately 10” x 10” (depth should between 1/2” and 1”).
