Costs of homes are rising. Rents are rising. The number of low-
income housing units is decreasing. Around the world, around
four billion people lack access to decent housing, including 150
million in developed countries, and more than 800 million live in
slums.
To meet this requirement, CyBe is focusing on innovation to
offer
offer 3D concrete printing as an innovative, affordable housing
solution. This enables cheaper, faster, and more sustainable
construction.
Projects
They have used Rhino and Grasshopper since 2013. Their “Design
& Engineering” team uses Grasshopper to develop several tools
and projects. Parametric Design was introduced during the
technical/operational phase of projects since it is important to
automate several procedures regarding designing for printing
and printability checks.
Grasshopper is also a powerful tool during the conceptual phase
when the team needs to design more complex geometries with
repetitive structures or develop wall textures that can be applied
to multiple surfaces.
Later, they came up with the idea of letting their clients adjust
their designs according to their preferences. Therefore, creating
a layout that could be easily used by any person, relevant to
Grasshopper or not, was crucial for the company.
