Metaball Skinner
Developer: chaos nuggets
Makes thin mesh wireframes printable by laying metaball rods along each skeleton segment in Blender.
What Metaball Skinner does
Metaball Skinner turns thin wireframe structures into printable solids. Metaball rods are laid along every segment of the mesh skeleton to thicken it.
The output is always manifold regardless of how complicated the network is, so heavily branching or lattice-like shapes, for instance neurons, trees and networks can be handled. Useful for makers preparing delicate structures for printing. This is a handy approach for scientific models, sculptures and decorative lattices that would be fragile or non-printable as thin wires.
