STRUCTURE
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.
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 divided into two parts, with different units spread over 4 weeks:
PART I (Online)
- 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 (Onsite / Online)
- DIGITAL FABRICATION SYSTEMS/ 28 Hours
Guest instructors last editions:
Giancarlo di Marco, author of the book for modeling in Rhino “Simplified Complexity”.
Aman Agrawal, Creative Mutations Product designer
Alessio Erioli, Co-de-iT PhD Engineer and Senior Researcher ar Universitá di Bologna
Some of the photos are from fully on-site editions; we will adapt the digital fabrication week to fit the hybrid format.
ENROLLMENT
- PART I (Online) – 995 euros Early bird 795 euros

Enrollment is confirmed exclusively upon payment of the course fee. However, for the full course, it is possible to reserve a place with a deposit of €500. The remaining amount must be paid within a maximum of 30 days and always before the start of the course.
> Bank transfer. Please select this option in the payment process or click above the button “Registration Policy” for detailed information.
> Credit – Debit Card (Secure e-commerce platform Redsys & Stripe).
FAQ PART I
No. We only ask for very basic knowledge of geometry and 2D CAD software, such as AutoCAD. If you don’t have this experience and would like to join the course, we can provide you with some documentation so you can work on your own before the course begins.
Sessions are live, and to follow the course properly, you should attend them. However, if this is not possible due to your time zone or work/study schedule, we will record the sessions and make them available 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 recommend completing the full course to finish your training. (Remember, PART II can also be done online.)
Please note that on-site training usually fills up quickly and spots are limited.
FAQ PART II
Upon registration, we will provide information about accommodation options and the best areas to stay.
We also have an agreement with a local company specialized in helping participants find suitable places to stay.
It should not be a problem, as the course lasts only one month. However, for non-EU citizens, we strongly recommend contacting the Spanish Embassy and starting the paperwork as early as possible, as processing times may vary depending on each country. Of course we will provide you with an invitation letter and proof of enrollment for the course.
In case of force majeure situations (for example, if you are not allowed to leave your country or enter Spain, as in the case of Covid-19), this must be justified with an official document, certificate, or statement from an official source.
