Crystallon

Description

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.

  • Learning Curves

    Crystallon V2 is online at https://www.food4rhino.com/app/crystallon. Check it out and give it a try!Yet there are always more improvements that can happen. I would like to introduce a few new components that I have found helpful and will be…

  • Morphing Between Meshes After Divide Surface

    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 the divide surface tool to obtain a quad mesh, but once I put it through the "Morph Between Meshes"…

  • Lattice structure

    Good afternoon, I am a year 3 student of the Architecture department. I am a rather new member of grasshopper and this plugin in general. I realized that this plugin is very useful for me at this current stage as well as for what I want to do in the future.I would like to ask about the application…

  • Voxel Morphing between two surfaces

    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 through the SW loft function. I got the following twisted voxel mappings. The node/vertex was mapped…

  • Add new CrystallonV2 Cell Selector (Lattices & Shells)

    Hi,Can someone suggest how to add new Lattices & Shells types to the CrystallonV2 Cell Selector.It appears as a ready-made dropdown list, but I'd like to add new custom elements to it.Thanks,Dana Church

  • Crystallon Thicken Problems

    Hello,I've been trying to get the Thickness to work with Shells.Using the Thicken.gh example file.The only Shell types I get to work with the Weaverbird Mesh Thicken are the Gyroid (shell) and the LH Auxetic (shell).The others (Octa, Dodeca, Trunc Octa, Cubic Center, Cubic Face) all produce an…

  • Crystallon 2 tutorials

    Hello,I've just downloaded Crystallon 2, installed, and looking at examples files.Also read the 75 document over the weekend.Are there any tutorials at all?There is no explanation that I can find which explains the basic work flow.I'm guessing that the workflow is: Voxelize, Populate, Modify,…

  • Rabbit with Lattice

    Hello,Does anyone have any hints how to approach the 'Rabbit with Lattice' that was apparently made using Crystallon?I thought maybe fill a bounding sphere with voxels and use the Rabbit mesh to trim.But I don't seem to find that particular unit cell in either lattice or shell form.And on a related…

  • Trimming piped lattice that goes beyond original shape.

    Hi,thanks for great tool. Spending quite a bit of time learning :) Have a lot of questions, but one question at a time.When I pipe a lattice, i.e. create surface around lattice beams, I noticed that with selected thickness it always goes beyond original shape. See attached image. How to overcome…
