Homebuild blow moulding form and vacuummachine to continue my material tests in norway. I used thicker material (2mm), an oven and a vacuum pump. the results are promising

parametrical chain mail

based on the hexagonal surface panelization the definition creates pipes that join together to a ‘chain mail’ following the input surface.

hexagonal surface panelization

I made a grasshopper (a parametrical plugin for rhino) definition that automatically divides a nurbs surface into hexagons. So I dont have to build every single tile if i want to try proportions etc.
They are not real hexagons because I think its not possible to make a 3d hexagonal mesh. so its basically 2 quads that build one hexagon.

I just finished the script and have not played around so much but som impressions what it can do.

The definition is based on a surface panelization posted on

This was done with Grasshopper and Rhino. I tried to make the connection between three profiles as adjustable as possible.

Hello, this is my first post. I started this blog to document my current projects and this is a first try with images.
