Voronoi Foam Knight

thingiverse

This design originates from our SIGGRAPH 2016 paper Procedural Voronoi Foams for Additive Manufacturing. Content Each example in this collection comes with the following data: Raw volume data of the model without a base. Raw volume data of the model with a planar base. A ply mesh of the surface without a base. A ply mesh of the surface with a planar base. When available, the .tar.gz used to print the model on the Ember. When available, the .b9j used to print the model on the B9Creator. Miscellaneous Notes The surface mesh is obtained by running marching cube on volume data. The surface remains unfiltered, but you can run a few steps of Laplacian smoothing on it. The volume data is padded with 0 so that marching cube can be run directly on it. The volume data can be opened directly in Paraview (open the .mhd file). Alternatively, the volume data can be read as a 3D numpy array using this Python script. When using the .b9j file, you must reset the file settings from the B9 software. This is because the .b9j has been produced directly from slice images, using an old retro-engineered version of the file format.
