The parametric desing offer us the possibility to create repetitions of pattern. In this exercise, an element design in rhino, is integrate in a surface, flowing over it. The particularity of this definition is that you can change want you want the basic element of repetition, also is going to change in the repetition surface.

The parametric desing offers us the possibility to create repetitions of pattern. In this exercise, an element design in grasshopper, is integrate in a surface, flowing over it. The particularity of this definition is that you can change what you want the basic element of repetition, but in grasshopper, increasing the parametric desing. Also is going to change in the repetition surface.

In the next task, the objetive is to transport the 3d model generated in rhino to the website shapeways.com, dedicate to print your 3dmodel in a real model. You have the posibility of choose the material to do it. Thus, exporting the .3dm to .stl format we will get us 3dprint file.

In the next definition I will show how to introduce and image and convert it in a 3d structure. Cubes, spheres or circles can be the minimal units to generate it. So the grey scale gives us the paremeters to define the colour, scale and separation of them.
