Gyroid Surface

thingiverse

This is a model of a Gyroid Surface. What's a Gyroid? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroid "A gyroid is an infinitely connected triply periodic minimal surface discovered by Alan Schoen in 1970." Glad we cleared that up. To put it another way, it's a surface defined by the signed distance field: d = sin(x) * cos(y) + sin(y) * cos(z) + sin(z) * cos(x) This model is formed by creating a thin shell about that surface. It's defined over all 3d space, but I've cut out a cube of that space to be printed. The design is parameteric - and I've included the source if you wish to modify it. Note: This is not OpenSCAD. It's a program written in Go. The main library and code examples can be found here: https://github.com/deadsy/sdfx About Go: https://golang.org/
