Volume generation from curve with Dendro

[tonino.nucifora (Tonino)]

Hi everyone, I am facing this problem.
Is it possible to reconstruct a mesh with the curve to volume function of dendro, obtaining a cellular structure? I tried but it can only generate a small portion of the surface.
Thank you

Hello
there are many examples on this forum. I encourage you to search with Dendro Keyword. There are many scripts available, I have done some
But for sure there are some tricks.
Never provide non flattened data to Dendro! If there are branches there will a volume per branch.
Take care of the voxel size = radius / (value > 2)
I encourage you not to use sliders on the settings. For low number of calculation it is OK but could lead to lag for high number of points.
I also no more use the curve component (there are some others trick to use it) and I prefer to divide all curve to points (distance << radius)

Hi, when I download this script the curve to volume function is still red on the ammended script??? thanks

Dendro - Dynamically driven variable radius lattice

Had a student reach out to me about this and thought I would share the definition. This is for generating lattice structures with variable radius struts that are driven by multiple input points. This would be useful if you are looking to control the mechanical properties of a lattice by increasing the diameter of the struts in specific areas. ex: If you wanted a 3D printed shoe mid-sole design to be made up of a lattice that had increased compression resistance under the ball of the foot and h…

Refine dendro mesh

Dendro does not magic on that. The parameter Adaptivity will decrease the faces number in low curvature region. But the level of detail/ precision is given by the Voxel Size. If you don’t want to decrease it, you’ll have to use Smooth component. Play with the options and iterations they have very different behaviors. Some needs lot of iterations some not.

Test of Dendro plugin : Ring

Here some of my first test of Dendro plugin. To my point of view this plugin brings the power of OpenVdB in Rhino/Grasshopper. It will certainly be very useful for jewelry, dental, lattices … and all mesh related projects. A ring done with my ring generator, similar to Nervous Cell Cycle. I just spend less than 1 hour to do that. Dendro took 6 seconds !! It is fast, very fast. Wahou thanks @ryein https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/line.php?code=5 [dendro1] [dendro2] [dendro3] [dendro…

Thank you for the tip, it helped me a lot.
I managed to get a structure, as shown in the figure. For the reconstruction of the base below and above the structure, do you recommend using a solid surface, like the example in the figure?

@tonino.nucifora

do you recommend using a solid surface

I have no idea, it surely depends what you want to do and which printer you will use.
