Does anyone here know anything about this: [image] Non-planar | Nonplanar.xyz We are transforming the universe of FDM/FFF printing by developing solutions for makers that want to go full 3D or non-planar. This outfit does not seem to be ready for the real wo…

Hello I have done a tool to make non planar printing. I cant go on detail but it is a double curvature and they also change the flow depending on the thickness which changes everywhere. Object is about 2 m long 50 cm wide.

Thanks for your reply Laurent - I’m happy to see I’m not the only one interested in this subject. But…your response is unusually mysterious. Tool? it? they? Object? Now I have even more questions than before.

What I did is related to this [image] First journey in 3D printing Gallery Some weeks ago I began my journey in the 3d printing world. The main job was to generate 3d printer paths from closed curves which represent the intersection between a slice (plane or not) and a so…

Thanks for that - your concept of a continuous tool path makes perfect sense. Most everyone in the current 3D printing world sooner or later struggles with the seam issue, and your approach completely eliminates that problem. When I was in the business of writing code to create milling machine tool…

Hello, I have found this plugin on blender to make non planer curves for 3D printing. [image] But if you see it is not the best options at the splits. [image] Does anyone have references or documentations to make something like this with grasshopper. I have been reading a lot of documentation…

In particular the example in this post from the thread Laurent linked [ea57932928b81e541e9fa634478276587f4d972b] [image] Heat Method Grasshopper Hi Wes, here you go: Boundary_equalize_release.gh (98.1 KB) [image] I don’t think the quality of the input mesh you are u…

This old tool could work if your mesh is not too fine. I didn’t finish the optimisation. I think one of its advantage is the output as a real distance. [image] Geodesic distance from points on mesh Here is a script to calculate exact geodesic distance from points on mesh. It is a transc…

Wow , @laurent_delrieu fantastic again
