Open Source

Academic research developed at DIA
Directed by Karim Soliman

In this section, I am sharing some of the work I have developed in DIA with my students during the past 8 years. we believe in the open source culture and that knowledge should be for free.

The open source section is divided into 4 parts; first is “Grasshopper component wiki” which can be helpful to every grasshopper beginner to learn from, second is the grasshopper and python components and clusters we have created to accelerate digital fabrication process, third is the grasshopper definations of all the work is featured in the book digital fabrication from Micro to Macro and finally digital fabrication research  we have done in my course Digital fabrication in DIA.

Wiki - Grasshopper Competents

in these grasshopper files, explanation to the most components in the primary grasshopper taps. it is still work in progress and more plugins will be uploaded in the future
