- | **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. | + | **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.

It is a pity that we are learning to use a software that we won't used in our Fab Lab. |
- | **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**: The Mac version of Grasshoper is not reliable and a PC was necessary for this lesson. |

- | cos'é e a cosa serve | + | We started by adding a point on Rhinoceros and enable it in Grasshopper (to be added in the upper bar of Rhino). We played with simple components, such as: |
