Description

Silkworm is a plugin that translates Grasshopper and Rhino geometry into G-Code for 3d printing.  Silkworm allows for the complete and intuitive manipulation of the printer G-Code, enabling novel printed material properties to be specified by non-solid geometry and digital craft techniques.

    Hi all Silkworm users,

    Here are some tests I did using Silkworm, printing gCode generated directly from curves made with a simple grasshopper algorithm. The idea is to print a solid outer shell (a cylinder or a prism) and generate some inner straight lines defining ruled surfaces.

    Hi Arthur - great news about the open sourcing, I hope we can help... and get Silkworm talking to Godzilla! Greg
