Continuous Surface Bracelet

This bracelet consists of differentiated gyroids, i.e. infinitely connected triply periodic minimal surfaces.

The 3D printed result is a rigid porous structure that separates space into two oppositely congruent labyrinths of passages.

Create the Differentiated Gyroids

Step1-1.png

1 Create a regular gyroids net, composed of 20 components in X, 22 in Y and 3 in Z using MathMod.

2 Create a non-uniform mesh from forcefield in Processing using different repellers and attractors.

3 Morph the regular gyroids net into the mesh using Grasshopper.

Morph Differentiated Gyroids Into Arm Mesh

Step-2.jpg

Adapt the resulting differentiated gyroids into the arm mesh morphology or body scanned geometry according to triangular tessellation in Grasshopper.

3D Print the Bracelet

Prepare the .stl file for 3D printing and print! This bracelet was 3D

printed in white nylon plastic with a matte finish at Shapeways.

Enjoy!
