	'This research is early stage results of physical models that were used to explore the relationship between design modeling in CAD and digital fabrication with plywood sheets. We explored a process in making tabletop models with digital fabrication machines with thin plywood sheets. Each was built from combination of predetermined wood joining techniques and structures and undetermined form. These models are believed work as simulation of full scale constructs that inform CAD modeling. Results illustrate the limited potential of parametric modeling and inform fabrication and assembly of design variations',

	'Addressed is a need to generate functionally large geometries/Objects for layered manufacturing machines. Novelty is found in the translation from an initial shape in CAD to subdivision as interlocking objects that are further subdivided into slicing layers using traditional layered manufacturing software. Translation from an initial shape to individual component geometry is guided by shape rules as a set grammar that generates a 2D drawing of interlocking shapes. Mechanical rules further shape the 3D geometry of each object, resulting in a virtual model that complies with measures of structural stability, assembly, and machine manufacturing. Three models are constructed to illustrate the translation process from the virtual shape to a manufactured artifact.	<p> <a href="../projects/PHYS_GRAMM/index.html">More</a>',

	'This special course is exploration into digital fabrication for the design and materialization of tall buildings as very large models. This course is for motivated students interested in the integration of parametric modeling and digital fabrication. Students will work in teams of two focused on illustration and advancement in office tower design. The workshop project was exploration of physically built skyscraper models of generated in CATIA. Components were waterjet cut of aluminum. Parametric components will serve as elements of a physical grammar generated by scripts written specifically for CATIA. There are three stages of production in the semester, the first, was to learn the software, second machinery and last was production of components as part of a manufacturing process. The final presentation was in the form of a research reports posted on-line.<p> <a href="../courses/4511.html">More</a>',
