3D printing inner core geometry

[lander (CAD CAM CNC)]

I’m mostly interested in the ‘voronoi/delaunay’ geometries, but I’m open to all possibilities.

Problems with Multipipe subD

Here’s a solution with the new Isopod plugin. It does not require culling closest points or near coincident segments: [image] [image] isopod_voronoi_sphere.gh (21.9 KB)

Internal mass reduction for 3D printed parts

Here’s an example of doing just this with Isopod in Grasshopper: isopod_shell_example.gh (210.3 KB)

Once I get going on this soon imma be asking about more voronoi’s.

Still lots of reading and review and testing lol.

Also i think this person makes a very good point:

Isopod - implicit surface tools

Is it possible, using Isopod or otherwise, to create a lattice structure that follows the shape of an object, rather than just being orthogonal (?) So take the mesh in the attached file… rather than the lattice filling the bounding box of the shape and being trimmed to the shape’s boundary, create a lattice that is morphed to flow along the shape? Controlling the density of the lattice along the shape so it could be denser in the middle or ends? [image] MeshLatticeFollowShape.gh (24.1 KB)

looking forward to playing with isopods
