It includes these modules to address various CNC manufacturing processes. It is fully associative to any geometry changes within Rhino. With seamless user interface, selection and display integration RhinoCAM acts and feels like you are working with Rhino when creating your cutter paths. After getting all the tile we cleaned it with hot water to get rid of extra wax and then it was ready to lay cracks all over the place.RhinoCAM is a Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software plug-in for CNC machining that runs completely inside of Rhinoceros 6/7. It marries the power of Rhino’s freeform modeling with the legendary machining capabilities of VisualCAM to bring you a product of unrivaled capability for free form surface machining.

Once the molds were ready we applied four layers of sealant at interval of 15 minutes to dry and then wax before pouring concrete into the mold. We used two ball mills, 12mm for pen for the carving of the mold and 3mm pen for the final finishing and engraving. Then we used rhino cam(plugin for rhino) where we defined the strategies for the milling process of the mold. This collision can be controlled as per the expected end result. We used the plugin where particles are collided to the surface and it gives various patterns. Execution: To achieve the end result we used 3d software to simulate the pattern. We wanted to surprise the user while walking on this tile, thus by illusion of crack and randomness in the flooring we can always make user to look at the pattern. This gives us random look in the overall flooring even though the tiles are of the same pattern. We thought of creating an effect of crack.

And even in water channel the intent was to achieve the water flow which gives the sense of surprise in the journey. Concept: When it comes to the notion of continuity within an assembly of tiles repetitive look of the whole flooring sometimes becomes mundane, so to break this repetitive laying was the major concern along with the channeling of water on a surface which should be controlled by the level difference within the pattern. Brief of the exercise: The exercise was to design a famous Panot hexagonal cement floor tile as designed by Gaudi in 1904.One of the particularity of this design was supposed to be the capacity to be inserted within a larger assembly and to create continuous patterns across several tiles.
