I had a similar challenge with modeling a complicated repetitive structure. I managed to do it with Matlab as an implicit parametric model and directly export as a mesh. The original mesh was 9GB. After some reduction, it reached 2GB and I was able to print it on SLA printer. The metafold solution is great for such application, I would like to give it a try.

Those of us who grew up with the demoscene are so proud to see SDFs finding new places to be awesome.

Surprising software challenges. Like using fractals (not polygons) for video game creation. Cool part. Cool show!

I cannot express my happy reaction to see the future evolving with these designs and ideas. Thanks you two for forwarding these fantastic inventions. I love this channel

This reminds me of some free software Maker's Muse reviewed long ago called Structure Synth. A mathematical/programmed approach to creating geometry. I forget who said it (maybe Carl Bass of Autodesk?), but it was along the lines of: "Our designs aren't constrained to our imaginations, but the tools we have to realize them with." They went on to show how you could trace the development of CAD software by industrial design, with things getting softer-edged and more complex over time. I wonder if someone might develop a GAN based AI tool to compress geometry while maintaining feature detail. Or perhaps a variant of H.264 where instead of compressing frames of an image, it is layers of the print... how about it Science?

If you can map the gene instructions and reproduce them, probably 3d printing the proteins, you can probably insert those genes in a bacteria or crop to harvest them that way way. Even if not, cell farming should be the new economy/microbusinesses, making many traditional jobs expendable now, though could be partly automated too.

In AEC we do something like that, too. IFC and similar, most BIM software handle implicit models. Parts, we call it elements, geometry are predefine by its category. Some building models 'parts' are in thousand. Large scale project could imply million of parts. Thus we don't do surface model, mostly. Though best practice workflow tend to break these models down into manageable pieces. Before we 'assembly' it into full building models. It never bother me how 3d printing software handle these data. This is a very interesting subject. Thank you for the video.

Someone get this guy a ntop license!

ntop usually require high end hardware, and is currently limited by the hardware itself. apart from that, ntop also struggles with the same problem of importing large files.

Could be a good way if just manipulate the Gcode, observing the symmetries!

Awesome application for 3d printing. Re: slicing. You only need to slice one repeating section and make a script that changes the layer name? Seems very solvable. Obv implicit modeling is much more elegant though.
@aimlessweasel5 ай бұрын
It looks like they have to print it sideways, so they can't just stack the repeating pattern (I had the same thought).

This is so fascinating. It reminded me that I should send you my research paper on my open source 3D printed tissue biofabrication platform, the 'bIUreactor'. It would use the cells from something like the bioreactor from SWRI to make 3D tissues. I'll send it shortly!

Thanks, Lester. We received your email and have linked to your research in the episode blog post (www.additivemanufacturing.media/articles/ultra-complex-3d-printed-scaffolds-enable-cell-growth-the-cool-parts-show-70?) Interesting work!

can't we use foam commercially readily available instead of 3D printing ?
@AdditiveManufacturing5 ай бұрын
The goal is to ensure a layer of cell growth exactly one cell deep, with no cell allowed to grow atop another. Foam is flexible - it could be compressed or bent in a way that might let cells overlap. Also, random geometry produces varying surface area - difficult to layer cells onto the surface consistently. The scaffold geometry here is an intricate form, but it offers a regular, repeating geometry.

They are designing and producing the stl files incorrectly for this application. The design should be done algorithmically NOT using cad.
