Tutorial 4.2 - Offset Cell Curves
In the case shown previously, additional transformations need to be applied to achieve geometry suitable for fabrication to create a mold. If we want a final cast that resembles a network of lines, we need this initial cast to be the same; the lines must have thickness. There are two approaches shown here, the first is to offset cells of a grid inwards. This is not appropriate for all geometries however and creates some annoying errors in some cases. A second method, utilising Adobe Illustrator is shown where line ‘outlines’ are created.
