A sculpture. Contrary to popular belief, it is not an algorithmic object.

This Voronoi network has the symmetry of a snub dodecahedron...almost. It is my homage to the wonderful diatoms of the world.

The same as this model on bathsheba.com:
here it is in some other materials.
Bigger version here.

4c9o virus [force nano virus]
Inspired by the intricate and beautiful shapes of viruses and bacteria.
Watch HD video above or check out some highres photo's.
Materials
Succesfully printed in White Strong & Flexible.
Dyed strong & flexible could is experimental and available per request.
A polished version is unlikely to survive the process.
History
The original model was created in 2006 for a 3d photo collage.
One of the goals was to create a life-like photograph of non-existent objects.
As, at the time, I was pretty sure this was an impossible to produce object.
Then I discovered shapeways ;-)
So now it was succesfully created in real 3d!
Specifications
It is solid to not compromise the design and the price difference was marginal.
Outer diameter is 8.5cm/3.3 Inch and the tips are 0.7 mm quickly becoming wider.
Which overall makes it quite sturdy.
Please be careful with unpacking though, it may be slightly tangled in the bubble wrap.
Then again, mine already survived a 1 meter/3 foot drop, however, I do not recommend that ;-)
It should be treated as a delicate decorative object, it is NOT a toy!

Here's a very festive truncated icosahedron that knows how to party, or maybe partied just a little too much.

The BBC feature The Code, which aired in the summer and fall of 2011, culminated in a treasure hunt. This is the treasure. The original was made in bronze-finish steel and cast silver, this is 3/4 size. It is a rendering of the five Platonic solids nested.
I also made two recolours with fire and water hues.

This is a fun party toy. The inside set of spirals spins freely, or hold the bars and spin the outside ball

Here's a dodecahedron whose faces have been expanded, twisted (to the left) and smoothed just a bit.
