modeling with rhino
i started to try rhino for mac: it's free!

PLA is a considerably stiff material so i though i could be a good idea to try a flexible result composed by strong little pieces. this could be a kind of fabric (or a component of the skin of my final project?). there are so many interesting examples out there!
