Waffle Structures in Rhino Grasshopper

About this course

Learn how to create intricate waffle structures from any 3D form using Grasshopper—the industry-standard tools for parametric design and digital fabrication.This course takes you step-by-step through the entire process: from modeling free-form geometry, to slicing and generating interlocking waffle components, to preparing your elements for fabrication with unrolled layouts and labeled tags.Whether you’re an architect, designer, student, or digital fabricator, you’ll gain practical skills to turn complex 3D shapes into real-world buildable structures.What You’ll Learn:How to model free-form 3D geometries in RhinoCreate a waffle grid system using GrasshopperDesign interlocking structural elements with precisionUnroll and layout elements for laser cutting, CNC, or manual assemblyAdd automatic numbering and text tags for organized fabricationExport ready-to-cut drawings with all necessary markingsTools & Software Used:Rhino 3D (Windows or Mac)Grasshopper (visual programming plugin for Rhino)Who This Course Is For:Architecture and design studentsFabrication professionals and model makersGrasshopper users seeking practical workflowsAnyone interested in parametric structures and digital makingRequirements:Basic knowledge of Rhino and GrasshopperRhino + Grasshopper installed (Rhino 6, 7, or later)No previous fabrication experience required—just curiosity and creativity!By the end of the cour
