Commercial interior fit-out

Architectural grid ceiling

Batch model and production output across a large run of ceiling components, each one slightly different from the last.

A linear grid ceiling of the kind this batch output produces — hundreds of components, each sized to its position in the run.

The design task

A ceiling run like this is hundreds of components, and almost none of them are identical — each is sized to where it sits.

Modelling and drawing them individually is not realistic at that volume, and a late dimension change means doing it again.

What the automation handles

  • Component geometry generated per position from the overall grid
  • Model and production output produced in bulk rather than per part
  • The full set regenerated when the grid or a dimension changes

Generated output still needs the checks and approvals required by your engineering and manufacturing process.
