This document discusses parametric design and how it connects code with computer numerical control (CNC) machines and 3D printers. Parametric design uses 3D modeling software and scripting languages to leverage algorithms for repetition and recursion in design. Digital fabrication plays a role in parametric design by joining architecture, product design, manufacturing, and construction through the use of 3D modeling and CNC machines like CNC routers, laser cutters, and high force knife cutters. These machines can accurately fabricate digital models by reading code that represents CNC functions.

- 1. PARAMETRIC DESIGN Connecting Code with CNC machines & 3D Printers
- 2. • Parametric design or associative, computational, generative design is the use of 3D modeling software and scripting languages to leverage the use of algorithms for repetition, recursion and similar tasks in design.
- 6. • What is the role of Digital Fabrication in parametric design? FASTER AND MORE ACCURATE DESIGN METHODS NEED FASTER AND MORE ACCURATE FABRICATION TECHNOLOGY
- 7. • Digital Modeling and Fabrication is a process that joins architecture and product design with manufacturing and the construction industry through the use of 3D modeling software and CNC machines.
- 8. • CNC Router • Laser Cutter • High Force Knife Cutters (Computer Numerical Control) Laser Cutters red vector lines from These machines are receive the 3D modeling and vector software same inputs and file formats as the cnc routers read g-code which such as AutoCAD, Rhinoceros or laser cutter but instead of laser represent cnc functions in Illustrator. uses fine blades to cut material. alphanumeric format. Laser Cutters are specifically Knife Cutters are specifically CNC machines are specifically successful at cutting and scoring successful at cutting from vinyl to successful in milling materials such material such as chip board, matte rhinestone rubber, from paper to as plywood, foam board, and steel at board, thin sheets of wood, and chipboard, from thin cotton fabric a fast speed plexy up to 3/8" to stiffened felt.
