Although teaching architecture at the University of Colorado–Boulder, Chris K Palmer created Rhinoscripts to calculate intersecting “ribs.” Utilizing many variables, such as material thicknesses, the script automatically generates vector-based files that, in turn, are used to drive CNC machines (laser and Craft ROBO cutters, 3-axis routers). Not only has Palmer expressed his favored standard Middle Eastern patterns, but he also has constructed, with his students, life-sized domed structures. All models assemble with out external fasteners or adhesives, and use only the flat parts themselves, significantly like sliceforms.
Making forms utilizing the box slot connection began with work by Akio Hizume, who wrote custom application to calculate patterns, as well as scale and life-sized towers.
