There are many ways to make pieces from a mesh

Mesh clustering

[ba8688d3781e6455757789ec70ab5d8f16804698_2_1000x1000] Following the question of Gijs here a short explanation of my mesh clustering. A shape (disk here) is first triangulated with mesh machine, [image] Some random lines are draw on the shape [image] Points on lines are used to get index of mesh faces that are closes to the points. These index in a Datatree are then used as the seed to cluster the mesh [image] Contour of the cluster mesh is extracted as a polyline [image] Polyline …

Fern Lamp project

First virtual light for my new lamp design, some (many!) inspirations from @nervous.system with their Puzzle Cell Lamp but the generation of parts is made with my mesh clustering tool and the holes are done using my Fern Spores generator. Also I don’t know if I will make it in metal and/or wood. Here in France metal is quite the same price as birch plywood.

Pipe strips

Since the thickened curve meshes are all quads, with all even valence vertices, they can be sorted by direction and turned into strips [image]

then you have to flatten, also make the marks, the connections …

require quite some work.
