How to Design A Wearable in Blender: A Step by Step Guide

Image
Designing and manufacturing custom-made wearables, splints and casts is one of the hottest topics of the day. To design a custom-made wearable object in Blender, considering that they shouldn’t have any sharp edges in addition to having small and large lattice structures on their shell, makes the design a bit complicated. However, using some useful scripts in Python and the guides that we give you throughout this tutorial, you are going to finally learn how to design different kinds of wearables. Design A Wearable in Blender The example that we are going to work on is wearable for the knee with the fillets, lattice structures, and a hole with a certain size for placing a certain kind of sensor. We are going to provide a panel with tools to hasten the process of our design. In the first 2 parts of the tutorial, we work on the scripts related to the utility functions. And if you are not interested in the details of these useful functions, you can skip ahead stra...

Different Kinds of Lattice Structure Using Blender

In this article, we are going to directly use the Blender modifiers to create an aesthetic costume lattice structure in Blender . But, as we have said before, the purpose of creating these kinds of lattice structures is art and aesthetics, because the end result is more stochastic rather than deterministic. We start with adding a simple shape like a cube, cylinder, or cone and use modifiers to change the formation of the mesh, then use the Wireframe modifier to make a lattice form out of our mesh, after that, by using other modifiers like Multiresolution or smooth, we post-process our design. Using Blender Modifiers to Create A Lattice Structure In this 3rd part of our tutorial, we are going to directly use the Blender modifiers to create an aesthetic costume lattice structure but as we have said before the purpose of creating this kind of lattice structure is art and aesthetics, because the end result is more stochastic rather than deterministic. We start with...

Creating Different Kinds of Internal Lattice Structure: A Complete Tutorial

Image
In this article, we are going to design a scientific and accurate kind of lattice structure for a cube or other geometrical 3D shapes using Blender . The difference between a scientific and an aesthetic lattice structure is that in a scientific lattice structure we need accurate dimensions as opposed to aesthetic lattice structures where beauty is the priority. We use different methods for modeling the 2 kinds of lattice structures. An introduction to Internal Lattice Structure Internal lattice structures are used for many different purposes. And there are many ways to design them in Blender or Meshmixer software, one of which is to use wireframes which gives you a low-quality lattice structure even if you utilize the modifier. It would mostly be useful for artistic purposes meaning that you cannot precisely determine the size of the holes and channels and the whole object itself. We usually design our lattice structures this way when we want some aesthetics in o...
