Quoi de neuf ?

My first blog post ever...

Having just finished my SR71 Blackbird project, I have uploaded the full 3D print available for download here: https://pinshape.com/items/32190-3d-printed-sr71-blackbird-complete-print

Hoping to improve myself as a designer, I have resumed personal study of Algorithmic Aided Design (AAD) via Grasshopper for Rhino 5. I recently completed a mini one day project to put into practice what I have learned so far. I tried to do restyle mash-up of an already very innovative product that my close designer friend Robert Wolfson has recently launched: https://www.evoshave.com/ My aim was primarily to see how AAD could help generate smooth curves with less effort than traditional NURBs modelling and I also learned about some other techniques that will help me generate some funky 2D laser-cutting artwork in the future, this is good news because I do quite a bit of that too. As for the Evoshave shaver handle, I wanted to go crazy with smooth ergonomic forms and add a small 'tail' so that the user could wash the razor in very hot water comfortably. My short journey so far is summed up in this quick and rough video: Yes I did cut myself in the process...

Grasshopper can also be used to create parametric surfaces, in this case the design of the ribbed rubber finger pads for extra grip, this surface will automatically update with design changes to the handle.
