5-Axis Swarf Test Using Custom GH Component

Testing a custom Grasshopper G-Code Generator Component for our 5-Axis Mill. The component allows the Toolpath G-Code to be produced directly in Rhino GH, with vector visualization and geometry creation. Basically, everything can be accomplished straight from within the parametric

PARAMETRIC STEEL

Work in Progress by Akihiro Moriya, a student in my FABCRAFT spring seminar. The steel component geometry is produced parametrically using a grasshopper definition controlled by the surface geometry. The steel is plasma-cut on our combination 5-Axis mill and plasma
