In this talk, Luis Arturo Pacheco demonstrates how Geometry Nodes can be used to design parametric toolpaths for a range of machines, from pen plotters, laser cutters, and 3D printers to industrial robots. He introduces Animaquina, an open-source addon that brings Robot motion design, simulation, and real-world control into Blender. Attendees will discover how procedural workflows can streamline the process of generating custom toolpaths, enabling artists, designers, and makers to bridge the gap between digital creation and physical fabrication.
Luis Arturo Pacheco is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at Florida Atlantic University and Director of the Interactive Machines Lab, where his research explores the intersection of computational design, robotics, and digital fabrication. His work focuses on developing intuitive robot control interfaces for creative professionals and advancing innovative workflows for digital manufacturing i…
