Rib Maker

Well, I finally made one. Ive been putting it off for a while, because so many of them already exist, but it provided the opportunity to look at information sorting in a more streamlined pattern. This Rib fabrication Rhino script allows the user to select a surface, input the row and column count, specify the rib dimensions, then sit back, have a coffee and let the computer do the work.


Expanded Surface

Expanded Surface

The expanded surface is the final release of the unfolded surface series at this time. This version generates an expanded surface which provides higher structural rigidity as well as aesthetic texture. This script includes a function to find the triangular inpoint from a series of 3 different points.

Ripple Unfold

This fabrication script presents a simple tool to evaluate a surface with a triangular pattern and unfold this pattern in a series of bands. These bands are tabbed an numbered for easy assembly. This script is the first and simplest step in a series of rhinoscripts which will attempt to provide rigid structural skins with a simple triangulation technique.


Triangulate Strips

Triangulate Strips

This simple triangulation fabrication script takes a single surface and evaluates it at a user specified density. The script then creates a flattened set of strip templates for printing/lasercutting which are numbered for easy assembly.

Triangulate Tile

This simple triangulation fabrication script evaluates a surface and creates a tiled set of triangulated pieces with incrementally numbered tabs. To assemble, simply combine tabs with matching numbers… and your done.
