Surface tessellation_Hexagon Planarization

Farzadnia, Farzad

Abstract

After trying to simulate beehive flashing diffusion pattern both in computer and physical prototype, Hive is somehow telling that it needs to be expanded in its size, form and other parameters.

We are now ready to develop the project; however, we need to consider so many parameters in order to design the final hive. We need to tessellate freeform surfaces by hexagons and they need to be planar so we can use planar material (Plywood) and laser cut the pedals patterns. We also have a limited budget, so the prototype needs to be affordable. Therefore, we need a tool to see mentioned information about the model when we change parameters.
