Hi everyone,
I’m Sebastiano from Acus, an innovative startup based in Italy. We’re focused on transforming the composite materials industry, tackling each stage of the production cycle—from design to sustainable recycling.
Currently, we’re developing a Grasshopper script aimed at streamlining cost estimation for composite components. In our process, creating a composite involves assembling and gluing shaped boards layer by layer, followed by milling to achieve the final form. At the moment, this assembly planning is done manually, which is time-consuming and limits scalability.
To address this, we’re looking to automate the process within Grasshopper. We’ve built a preliminary algorithm, which you can check out here link to file. However, we need expertise to improve and expand it with new functionalities.
This project is just the start of a larger vision. Future milestones include automated mold design and large-scale robotic 3D printing for mold production.
If you’re interested in collaborating or would like to learn more, please text me at sebastiano.picco@acuscomposites.com. Looking forward to connecting with talented minds here!
Best,
Sebastiano
