Grasshopper3D plugin for creating spirographs

[SPIRO]rat is a free plugin for Grasshopper (a plugin for McNeel Rhinoceros3D) developed by rat[LAB]EDUCATION in INDIA. It generates Epitrochoids and Hypotrochoids by representing the motion of a pen in a classic spirograph. An infinite number of patterns can be generated through this plugin using Rhino3D and Grasshopper3D which can be translated into spatial formations.


rat[LAB]EDUCATION is an initiative by rat[LAB] to start a new discourse in architecture & parallel design disciplines with the use of ‘computational design’ & its various subsets. Spread across various cities/countries, they are establishing a global dialogue in the domain of computational design by actively organizing and participating in workshops, lectures, presentations & symposiums.


Praneet Mathur was part of the [SPIRO]rat Project Team as a Developer and Programmer.

Skills: Grasshopper3D, Visual Basic
