The goal of this project was to learn how to build a parametric attractor script in Grasshopper. That script was then used for formfinding to create a concrete sculpture
Attractor Cube
A personal project
1. Formfinding process
drag / hover to rotateA wavy curve was drawn around the five outer faces of a cube, which were then deconstructed to create the Grasshopper script using the surfaces as a grid and the curves as the attractor.

drag / hover to rotateThe baked surfaces were then reassembled inwards so that a boolean difference can get the negative of that shape, resulting in the final cube geometry.
drag / hover to rotate2. Mold Making + Casting
2.1 Attempt #1: PLA mold
After two failed attempts at casting this design I learnt that PLA molds are not great at capturing fine details, so I decided to make a silicone mold.
2.2 Attempt #2: Silicone mold
The silicone mold worked perfectly and captured all the details I wanted.
3. Results
