DOWNLOAD RHINO-FILE LINK

DOWNLOAD PLUGIN OPENNEST (Install under: Rhino 6\Plug-ins\Grasshopper\Components)

Used commands:
Mesh to polygon surface, Assembly, Disassemble, Disassemble shell, OpenNest + PackObjects, Deconstruct plane, Move, Amplitude, Custom preview, Edge Labeling (to Mesh to Polygon surface), Merge

3D objects

Close/open videochapter

Shows challenges of different 3D geometries: non- + manifold joints, intersecting planar sheeds, closed geometries

0:0 min

Standard node-definition for start:
from Rhino mesh to disassemble

2:24 min

"OpenNest" plugin

Close/open videochapter

Pack objects and setup Material Sheeds:

“Pack objects” (Top plane + silhouette) – nesting works better on curves than on geometries
Setup packing sheed + “OpenNest”

4:25 min

Define sheeds for nesting:

Define material thickness and connect “Material” to “Shell” + “Assemble”
Connect Material Sheets to “Opennest-sheeds” and “Pack objects” to “Geo”

8:05 min

Joints and disassemble

Close/open videochapter

Preview sheeds with joints and how to explode view with “move, deconstruct plane, amplitude, custom preview”

12:22 min

Example change to “Butt joint”: change tollerance (Rhino units!), bake “custom preview”, customize (flip) joint

14:35 min

Control single joints in one geometry:

add edge labeling to define edges
add panel list with selected joints
“Merge” several joints to connect to “Assemble”. The default should be always last under “merge”

22:00 min

“Merge faces” to “Disassemble shell” to create clean geometry.
Nesting of 3d sheeds.
