-**SOFTWARE: **based on the scheme provided by Wemake Milano, we fabricated a piezoresistive analog sensor. The pressure sensor was built with **neoprene**, **Velostat**,​ **conductive threads** and **copper conductive fabric**.+**SOFTWARE: ****Rhinoceros 3D** is a commercial 3D computer graphics ​and computer aided design (CAD). ​**Grasshopper ​**is an open source visual programming language that runs with Rhinoceros 3D. Grasshopper builds generative geometry by dragging components onto a canvas; data is passed from component to component via connections which  connect an output with an input. Grasshoper has sevral plugs-in.
  
-**ISSUES: **I sewed a small piece of conductive fabric to the conductive thread to enlarge the surface where to attach the other components. However I could have simply covered ​the surface with several stitches to obtain ​a neater result. ISSUES non proprietario+**ISSUES: **Rhinoceros is a commercial software and we therefore used the 30 days trial version. Besides, ​the Mac version of Grasshoper is not reliable and a PC was necessary for this lesson.
  
 **NOTES**: only Neoprene without PVC can be laser cut. As I was not sure about the composition of the neoprene I used, I cut it with scissors and the shape was not extremely precise. **NOTES**: only Neoprene without PVC can be laser cut.
