Hello guys, any Idea how to create this kind of pattern in Grasshopper.
thank you in advance

@Jakob_v_Schirmeister Thank you very much for sharing the basic idea and the .gh file. Your pattern is quite close to the one Iâm looking for, but not exactly the same. If you look closely at the wooden plate, the design consists of hexagons, and inside each hexagon there is a circle with a three-point arc. Additionally, at each corner of the hexagon, there is also a three-point circular arc.
Nevertheless, I truly appreciate your effortâit gave me a good starting point to understand the pattern. I will try to work it out on my own from here.
kind regards,
Fenil
Yes. Sorry.
Your question, picture reminded me of Something i did ⊠thought to adjust it quickly. But I was a bit to quick and/or a bit to tired
Would you Upload your result?
No worries,
Yes I will upload the result. But I think I need time to figure it out because I am Newbie 
. If it is easy for you than could you help me to make it?
I think, I can not find the solution. Please anyone help me.
Search for âHauerâ, there are a few examples which might be helpful.
but I still have trouble to weld that mesh -thats causing problems in the SubDâŠ
A few points still seem to cause trouble but it looks mostly correct.

Thank you for sharing the file. Do you have any suggestions on how I could make the entire pattern the same height, without using a point attractor?
of course.
using that definition it would be simple to change the target domain of the remap: when domain start and domain end get the same value the attractor is ignored.
if you want to change the definition to make sure it stays constant you could replace the datatree of values in the multiplication (after the remap with just one value -perhaps a single number slider:
in that case all the remaping can be deletedâŠ

Thank you so much, everyone. Iâm getting quite close to the pattern now. I have created the hexagon in mesh format, while the other part of the pattern is in SubD. Iâm not sure how to merge the two so that they form a single unified pattern.
Iâm also attaching my updated .gh fileâplease take a look and share any ideas on how I could merge them.
Thank you in advance for your support. I truly appreciate it.

I am going to make a comment here, and I hope it is received in the spirit with which it was intended, to help.
We all have a tendency to look at something like this and just jump to âletâs create that pattern!!!â and dig out the cool tools.
Reality check, something like this is NOT machined as humongous pattern all cut in one giant go. It is cut by doing each hexagon complete and then moving to the next. Possibly a tooling change, maybe not. Why do I bring this up? Because right after that gigantic single model gets created it will need to be broken back into small hexagonal segments for manufacturing. The overall pattern will best be created at the machine.
Or. . .
Create the individual pattern and then do the step and repeat to control the final output. But do not weld the whole thing together.
If someone is doing lots of these, of varying sizes what is most helpful is a script that creates the individual element in the pattern as a solid.
Hi,
I'm new to GH... I did this, but my code isn't very rich in sophisticated components... I think it's possible to do better...
I like the first example with the mesh, but the extrusion was too complicated for me...
I'm going to build it with my CNC... :)

Thank you so much for sharing this file @Arthur_UGO â it is very close to the pattern I needed. I have already used the file that I uploaded on 17 September 2025 and made some modifications in Rhino (not in Grasshopper). Afterwards, I created this pattern on a metal plate using the laser. I have also uploaded an image of the result.
Once again, thank you very much @martinsiegrist @Jakob_v_Schirmeister @Arthur_UGO . Without your file, it would have been difficult to achieve this.
Best regards,
Fenil
woahhhh,
magnificentâŠcan you give some characteristics of your laser? is it yours?
the dimension about your metal plate ?
Best regards
and can you upload tour file please ?
I have used 50W nano laser with multiple layers of enggraving. The plate dimensions is 100mm*43mm. In the attachement you can get the .gh file.
