by nervous system

part of our cell cycle collection inspired by the complex forms of radiolarians, where intricate pattern is integral to structure, these shapes derive from a simulation of spring meshes enclosing an interstitial space. we created interactive software to morph, twist, and subdivide each design, transforming a simple mesh to a complex patterned structure.
the design is built up layer by layer in durable nylon plastic using selective laser sintering, a kind of 3d printing. these forms would be impossible to create by traditional manufacturing methods.
