Develop Expert Concept To Fabrication Skills

The valuable Parametric Design field requires ability to actualized designs. This course goes through step by step, how to implement a parametric system and optimize it for fabrication.

What You'll Learn:

This course prepares you for effectively developing and managing important parametric design methods. Though a step by step workflow, you create and optimize an entire project beginning to end.

  • How to evaluate a serpentine Hosurface for a modular unit wall.

  • How to develop a custom module, and array it effectively across a surface.

  • How to rationalize units, tag and export their dimensions for fabrication.
