Yokai pen plotting
2022 | Computational design | Gh/G-code | w/ Yuki Okuno
An experiment in pen-plotting Yuki Okuno’s Karasu Tengu drawing with a 3D printer. A Grasshopper algorithm converts 2D curves into toolpaths and G-code for brush-pen drawing. A slight up-and-down movement was added to replicate the motion of a brush.
Grasshopper definition for converting curves into G-code
This Grasshopper definition, based on the following webinar, not only converts curves into G-code, but also visually demonstrates how the process works.
