More or less. I need to print out some weird tubular thing with sinusoid grid pattern in it, the pattern need to be regular. That's architecture for you.

I checked, blender is a freeware. We have Rhino 3D Grasshopper at the faculty, wouldn't it be more suited?

It's a school project you dumbass

In what software you made the thing in the picture?

Yes. I need I way to add fibers onto a irregular semi-closed tube. It must work on non-specific surface mesh. It will always be a mesh because it comes from scans.

The fibers grids are actually inside the wall; one at 0.5mm form the inner wall, one at 1.5mm form the inner wall. The fibers are sinusoid, but I must be able to control the parameters such as amplitude, angular frequency, distance between each fiber, etc.

I can create surfaces corresponding to those layers, so all that I need is something that allow me to put that grid onto the surface of a 3d mesh.

Yes. I need to print the tube in two different materials, the fiber are the second material.
Once the grid are made I'm going to make space via Boolean then print.

You can see the little holes on the sides of the yellow squares, those are the holes filled by fibers.

Need some help for something weird.

Take a look at the picture. I need to embed the tube (in the upper image) with fibers (in the lower image).

Here are the requirements:

>The tube is of irregular shape; not a cylinder.
>The fibers are NOT curves; they have a volume, they are simply very thin.
>The Tube is an STL mesh.
>I need to reproduce the same pattern in the 4 lower images onto a irregular surface.

Embedding the fibers into a regular cylinder inside Solidwork is easy, but it won't work on a irregular mesh. I don't know how to put that pattern onto a irregular surface.

Does anyone here know how?

The software I have in hands are Solidworks, Netfabb, 3DMax.

Thanks
