Today we developed the series of tools to analyze meshes that we mentioned last week. These images show the refinement of the initial sketches, which looked at wall thickness, a step further with more types of analysis and visualization. The meshes are going to be printed in color over at FUSE Lab. Can't wait!

Lattice Lab: …

Another set of prototypes for this weekend's Lattice Lab. These are powder prints investigating differential components and were produced at FuseLab-NYCCT. Thanks Brian!
