Sponge box, featuring the trendy Voronoi style. The video, provided layer by layer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh5jKgsEQak, gives viewers the opportunity to learn how to design a trendy model. First, the base shape is modeled in Fusion 360; then, the Voronoi pattern is applied in Meshmixer. Because I have seen many Voronoi 3D models and find them truly inspirational, I wanted to learn how to create this object by myself. First, I created a base form in Fusion 360, so that the Voronoi pattern could be applied on that basic shape. In Meshmixer, the base is deformed from a square- to a triangular-pattern on the outside of the model. This way, more interesting shapes appear while creating the Voronoi pattern, especially by reducing the mesh with small and bigger brushes. Personally, I enjoyed watching the video very much because of the in-depth explained proceedings in creating a Voronoi pattern. Well-founded videos like these stay longer in my memory. For me, taking this project was helpful. By learning this design method, I discovered that it's useful to apply a plane cut in my models (keeping both shapes). Therefore, I could apply the Voronoi pattern to just the upper part and leave the lower part intact, which is critical when using a high-detailed bottom. A downside is that these objects take significantly longer to print (FFF printing), but for me it's worth choosing between a fast prop or a slow well-end product. I hope you enjoy the video!
