DESIGN & PARAMETRIC FABRICATION
X Edición. 100 horas.
Workshop of Rhino3d, Parametric Design with Grasshopper and Digital Fabrication, offered in two editions: Winter and Summer.
This workshop is aimed at learning 3d modeling with Rhino and parametric design with Grasshopper, getting physical results with the construction of a parametric prototype as the final exercise using digital fabrication tools.
This edition will be in hybrid format: PART I will be with live on-line sessions. PART II (optional) can be followed on-line or on-site
NEXT COURSE: SPOTS AVAILABLE
PART I (Online): 24 febrero al 14 de marzo
PART II, optional (Onsite / Online): 17 al 21 de marzo
If you want to take the course fully onsite, please contact us to consider it.
General timetable of the sessions: Monday to Friday, 4 -8 pm (Madrid CEST)

PROGRAM
The course is organized in an intensive way so any student without previous knowledge in 3D modeling or Rhino, may get a solid base for going into parametric design. For that, we use Grasshopper, a free graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3-D modeling tools. Unlike RhinoScript, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows designers to build form generators from the simple to the awe-inspiring. It is used at most famous architecture offices like Zaha Hadid or Norman Foster, as engineering teams as the one of Sagrada Familia (Barcelona), one of the most technological advanced buildings in the world.
Last week, the work is more intensive to learn the different advantages of using digital fabrication systems.
Students not only learn how to 3D model, but also will implement various strategies to obtain structures of complex models, analyze, calculate, interact with the physical environment etc. with the chance of manufacture different models with CNC technology, like cutting laser, milling machine and 3D printers. The final goal is to create, design and 3D model a cool object, prototype or sculpture using Rhino and Grasshopper and make it real with the digital machines we have.
Basic prototyping materials are included in the course fee.
> COURSE STRUCTURE
The course is divide in two parts with different units along 4 weeks:
PART I (on-line)
- UNIT 1: 3D MODELING with RHINOCEROS / 24 hours
- UNIT 2: PARAMETRIC DESIGN with GRASSHOPPER I / 24 Hours
- UNIT 3: PARAMETRIC DESIGN with GRASSHOPPER - II / 24 Hours
PART II, optional (On-site / On-line)
- DIGITAL FABRICATION SYSTEMS/ 28 Hours
Guest instructors last editions:
– Giancarlo di Marcoauthor of the book for modeling in Rhino "Simplified Complexity". Simplified Complexity .
– Aman Agrawal, Creative Mutations. DProduct designer
– Alessio Erioli, Co-de-iTPhD Engineer and Senior Researcher ar Universitá di Bologna
Some of the pictures are from full on-site editions; we will adapt the digital fabrication week to the hybrid format.

FAQ PART I
No. We ask for some very basic knowledge in geometry and 2D - CAD softwares like Autocad. If you do do not have it and want to join the course, we will provide you with some documentation so you could work on your own prior the course starts.
Sessions are live. To follow the course properly, you should attend. However, if it is not possible due to your time zone or job/study schedule, we will record the sessions, available only until the end of each week
Yes, if there are spots available. You would need to pay the difference of the PART I and the full registration fees, currently shown at the web page.
We do recommend to make the full course together in order to finish your training. (remember PART II is possible to do it On-line too).
Usually, On-site training is full and limited spots are available.
FAQ PART II
Upon registration, we will provide information regarding accommodation, best areas to stay... Also, we have an agreement with a local company specialized in helping you to find a place to stay
It should not be a problem as the length of the course is just one month. However, for Non-EU citizens we do strongly recommend to contact the Spanish Embassy and start as soon as possible the paperwork. It may take time depending on each country. We had students from Argentina, Canada, United States, Guatemala, Australia, Tunisia, Russia, Chile, France, Brazil, Latvia, Portugal, Venezuela, Panama, Mexico, Peru, Phillipines, China, Kuwait, Iran, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, India, Singapur, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Spain.
In case of Force Majeur situations (i.e. it is not allowed to leave your country or go to Spain, like Covid-19 situation), it has to be proven with an official website, document or paper that justifies the reason.
In that case, Controlmad will give you access to lectures and exercises on-line and check the digital fabrication process with a feedback of the results, including assembling. Besides, the objects may be manufactured with that files on your nearest FabLab (not part of the course fee)
