Parametric design
In this project focused on learning more about rhino and grasshopper. I tried grasshopper years ago, I first create the simple lines with sin and cos graph and printed two samples. I want to creat some rippling effectI first printed on strechy fabric, it does have rippling effect. i tested first few lines in case the settings are not good and printing the entire fabric will take a lot of time.
I think it will look better on strechy fabrics if the gaps between lines are bigger, so I can see the effect better.later I printed on a solid fabric. It is a harder and thinner fabric, i needed to calibrate again to print correctly.
Here i did some design with the sample I made.

3d print sequince
.I made woven fabric with wearbird plug in, i found this website for download weavedbird for Mac. I made plain woven fabric very quickly (less than 10 minutes) with Mesh+ plug in, although it says it is only available for windows, but it can be run normally with Mac book as well. It is very easy to make with mesh+ but i planned to make different types of woven fabrics such as satin weave, twill, even crochet, so it is better to make woven fabrics from scrach, then i can figure out how to do variations later. http://www.giuliopiacentino.com/get-wb-no-admin/
Remember the hand sewing squin took me forever. I accidentally made sequin with the settings in pint. In the print settings, i add brim for the border, so it does not fall apart, because the fabric is made of wavy lines, they need support to be printed. There are small circular pieces attacked to every point of contact between the fabric and the plate.
settings for sequin. It was the brim that made little circular pieces that look like sequin.
I did few more experiemnt try to imitate the tructures of diifferent types of fabrics.
I found this plug-in just made my life so much easier. on the website also says download for windows but macbook runs it just fine.
