Syllabus

This workshop introduces algorithmic and parametric design as a foundation for digital fabrication, bridging computational thinking with hands-on making. Using Rhinocers and Grasshopper3D, participants will explore rule-based and data-driven design methods to generate adaptable,fabrication-aware geometries. The workshop emphasizes seamless design-to-fabrication workflows, translating parametric models into physical outputs through 3D printing, CNC routing, and laser cutting. Participants will learn how design parameters respond to material constraints, machine limitations, and fabrication logic. The course encourages rapid prototyping, iterative testing, and informed decision-making through making. Emphasis is placed on understanding tolerances, joinery, and assembly systems. By the end of the workshop, participants will develop a fabricated prototype that demonstrates the complete workflow from algorithmic concept to physical

Who this workshop is for?

Architecture, design, and engineering students and professionals interested in computational design.Beginners to intermediate users of Rhino–Grasshopper and digital fabrication tools Makers and creatives looking for hands-on experience with 3D printing, CNC, and laser cutting

Why Learn from us?

Most workshops stop at software. We go beyond the screen. Our approach is rooted in IAAC Barcelona's design-to-fabrication culture, where parametric design is inseparable from making. You don't just learn tools — you learn how design decisions translate into materials, machines, tolerances, and assembly.
With a small batch of 12, guaranteed machine access, and hands-on mentoring, this workshop is designed to simulate a real fabrication studio environment, not a classroom.

What you will work on

This workshop focuses on fabrication-driven parametric design, where digital logic is developed specifically for real machines and materials
Participants will work in our in-house fabrication studio, equipped with brand-new CNC routing, laser cutting, and 3D printing machines, ensuring reliable performance and uninterrupted hands-on learning.
The workshop introduces multiple parametric workflows across CNC, laser, and 3D printing. Selected workflows are taken through the complete design-to-fabrication process, including:

Parametric setup and system logic•

Machine preparation and material considerations•

Fabrication, testing, and iteration•

Physical assembly and refinement•

Process documentation for portfolio use•

The emphasis is on depth, clarity, and real making, mirroring how parametric design is practiced in professional fabrication studios

FAQ

1. Do I need prior experience in Grasshopper or parametric design?

Basic familiarity with Rhino is recommended. Prior Grasshopper experience is helpful but not mandatory. The workshop is structured to support participants at different levels, with guided explanations and one-to-one mentoring during studio sessions.

2. Is this workshop suitable for working professionals?

Yes. The workshop runs from Friday to Sunday (10:00 AM – 5:30 PM) and is designed specifically to accommodate working professionals while still allowing sufficient time for hands-on learning.

3. Will I get hands-on access to CNC, laser cutting, and 3D printing machines?

Yes. All participants will work directly with CNC routing, laser cutting, and 3D printing machines. To ensure meaningful machine time, the batch is limited to 12 participants, with team-based rotation across machines.

4. Are the machines new and maintained in-house?

Yes. All fabrication activities take place in our in-house studio, equipped with brand-new CNC, laser, and 3D printing machines, maintained and operated under supervised conditions for safety and consistency.

5. What will I actually fabricate during the workshop?

Participants will be introduced to multiple fabrication-driven parametric workflows. One selected workflow will be taken through the complete design-to-fabrication cycle, resulting in a physical fabricated prototype along with digital files and documentation.

6. Will I learn all the workflows or only the one I fabricate?

All workflows are explained and demonstrated during the workshop. Fabrication is focused on one selected workflow to ensure depth, quality output, and proper machine understanding.

7. Are fabrication materials included in the workshop fee?

Yes. Basic fabrication materials required for the workshop exercises are included. Any advanced materials or additional fabrication beyond the planned exercises may incur extra costs.

8. What should I bring for the workshop?

A laptop with Rhino installed
A mouse (recommended)
Basic stationery for notes

All machines, tools, and fabrication materials will be provided.

9. Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. Participants who complete the workshop will receive a certificate of participation.

10. Will this workshop help my portfolio?

Yes. The workshop is designed to produce portfolio-ready outputs including physical fabricated models, parametric workflows, and documentation.

11. Is this workshop more academic or practice-oriented?

This is a practice-oriented, studio-style workshop focusing on real fabrication, machine logic, and applied workflows.

12. What is the refund or cancellation policy?

Refund and cancellation details will be shared during registration. Seats are limited, so early confirmation is recommended.

13. Will there be post-workshop support?

Yes. Participants receive limited post-workshop support for queries related to workshop content and files.

14. How many participants will be in the workshop?

The workshop is limited to 12 participants to ensure adequate machine access and individual attention.
