I bought Rhino 8 last week and yesterday I encountered a problem regarding the ‘ShrinkWrap’ command, a new command in Rhino 8. I have a facade wall with crazy geometry I made from Zbrush and I want to 3d print it for my course. However, this mesh was open so I want to make it closed.
Firstly I tried the “fill all holes” command but was not successful, then I realized the ShrinkWrap command I saw in the Rhino 8 introduction tutorial, so I tried, I cannot remember exactly which parameter I set in the pop-up panel, but the result was I somehow got a closed mesh, which made me very happy, however, when I brought it to 3d printing slicer software, there are no infills inside, then I went back to rhino to make a section, and found the section was a profile of double-layer shell, if I print this, the whole facade will be so fragile which is not what I want. I also checked the original open mesh section, it is a
single-layer shell.
Could anyone help me set the parameters for ShrinkWrap, I thought this command will help people with open mesh to get closed mesh for printing, but if the closed mesh is a shell, then it will still be very difficult for the printing process.
There is no command in Rhino that will create infill geometry for a closed mesh. That is something that is typically done by the slicer of the 3D print application that you’d use.

Hi, thanks for your reply but I do not think you understand my question.
My question is why ‘ShrinkWrap’ turns an open single-shell mesh (as shown in the 2nd screenshot) into a closed double-shell mesh (as shown in the 3rd and 4th screenshots), instead of a closed single-shell mesh. And from the last screenshot, the area between the two section profiles is actually where slicer software can generate infill, no matter how density I set the infill to be, it will be a very thin geometry.
