Voronoi on complex surface

Hi!

I'm trying to print on 3d a Voronoi Structure but i don't know how to turn that strucutre in joined surfaces to then provide thickness and bake into Rhino...

This might work.

Change the brep input for your surface.

It won't work on all surfaces... for example shapes that have sharp corners or creases in them will fail.

To understand how it is working, enable the preview for the component that shows the points around the voronoi and the scaled voronoi cells. The series components are passing these points to the ConMesh component in an order such that it can create mesh faces that surround the voronoi cells. These mesh faces can be joined, thickened and then smoothed. This definition uses weaverbird plugin for smoothing.

There is a plugin called Voronax available on food4rhino that can do this sort of thing if you have 64bit windows.
