Fluid cooled milling of aluminum plate.
D-33 Tiling options generated in Rhino through Grasshopper plug-in.
W-120301 Aluminum folding.
A grasshopper definition handled a detailed, rigid unfolding of each aluminum segment, taking into account material thickness. This produced the necessary channel widths to be milled into the piece for a given fold angle.
