Marius Watz: Ribform series

Work for a new 3D printing project, built completely in Processing with Wblut’s Hemesh library and my own Modelbuilder. Hemesh was used for the lattice structure, with the underlying structure first being built in Modelbuilder.

Most of these aren’t even printable, the final result (seen here) had to be quite solid and somewhat simplified to be guaranteed to print. The print material is a copper alloy, and the piece is approx 14 cm in radius with 8 cm depth. Front and back views were intentionally made quite different to allow several readings of the structure.
