FIELDS
FIELDS explores the use of vector fields to generate surface variations through computational geometry and CNC milling. Point charges distributed across a canvas define a vector field that influences the position of points along a series of curves. These geometric transformations produce a set of final curves that are then used to define the milling paths and depth variations of the physical model.

The project investigates how vector fields can inform the transformation of line-based geometry into a variable surface. Through the controlled displacement of curves, the system establishes a relationship between geometric distribution, surface depth, and material behavior, translating computational parameters into a fabrication strategy.

The resulting geometry is translated into CNC milling paths, where variations in depth become the material expression of the computational system.
