The first configurator on polyreprint.com

The first configurator on polyreprint.com is live

A few weeks ago I mentioned that polyreprint.com would be the demonstration of Polygon for 3D printing. The first configurator is now live: Book End.

It demonstrate how to generate a book end, which helps your book stand nicely. It is built using the SDF modeling tools, which are very versatile, and have the advantage of being very fast. You’ll notice as you move the sliders that changes are instant.

Expect more configurators in the coming days. Halloween’s coming, I’ll take this opportunity to try some cool ideas.

A video intro to SDF modeling

Watch the intro at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd9K7TUGF2g. It is a quick overview on the SDF nodes.

Polygonjs 2.0.64

Polygonjs 2.0.64 is out. It is mostly about 3D printing:

  • Print orientation. geo/PrintOrient turns a model the way it prints best, and geo/PrintOverhangMeasure shows which faces would print over thin air.
  • Voronoi cells. geo/VoronoiCells and geo/VoronoiField break a mesh into cells.
  • SDF fractals. Menger sponge, Mandelbulb, Julia sets and more.
  • QR codes, as a shape or as a texture.

The full changelog has the details.

As always, tell me what you build, and what is missing. Reply to this email, or say hello in the Discord, Bluesky or Twitter.
