Crystallon

Information

Crystallon is an open source project for creating lattice structures using Rhino and Grasshopper3D. The goal is to generate lattice structures within Rhino’s design environment without exporting to 3rd party software, with the advantage of modularity and the ability to combine other powerful tools available for Grasshopper3D. Each tool is left as a cluster which can be opened and modified at will, in the spirit of open source. We hope the community will continue to develop and contribute through the use of the Grasshopper forums and Github.

Morphing Between Meshes After Divide Surface 2 Replies

I have constructed two flat surfaces which I would like divide differently (same number of sections, but one with parameters established using a Bezier curve and the other evenly divided). I'm using…Continue

Voxel Morphing between two surfaces 3 Replies

Hi I am quite new to Rhino and Crystallon.I have created a geometry in Solidworks, and export it as STP file. I tried to morph two surfaces for generating the Voxel. These two surfaces were created…Continue

Comment by Preethe sree on March 30, 2019 at 3:39pm: Hi,

I am a new user of Crystallon. I am facing issues with the Voxel Morph value component. My intention is to densify the voxels towards a curve/Point. Could someone help me on it.

Comment by Aaron Porterfield on April 19, 2018 at 3:30pm: Thank you all for your support on the Crystallon project! I have received a lot of great feedback so far.

I am currently working on updates for the next release coming in the next few weeks. Here is a quick preview of the updates:

All the morphing between surfaces and meshes will now have a "t" input which allows you to use a graph mapper for non-linear divisions. I am working on getting this to work with x and y divisions on the surfaces.

The voxelize component has this for all axis, and now has an input for base plane so you can change the orientation of the voxels.

I have also received requests for an option to export lattices to nTopology. This is a powerful tool and they have created an open source file format for transferring lattice information https://github.com/nTopology/LTCX

I have created and export module and will create in import module soon.

In more exciting news, the 3MF consortium has released a beam lattice extension for the 3D Manufacturing Format. I will be working on a module for exporting beam lattice information to .3MF files soon. https://3mf.io/beam-lattice-extension/

Thank you for all the support and stay tuned for updates as they come.
