The magnificent, mind-blowing, alumide Egg. Even more super-fantastic in bronze. Other sizes available.
This Spheroid is the first ever physical/sculptural 3-D finite element mesh. Ever.
Close-up of a typical joint. The topology is complex and developing code to manage the joints was quite challenging.
The Pi mesh. I do like Pi.
A small mesh pendant (20mm, gold) exactly based upon the MOCA building geometry (Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland).

Meshagons: the first ever Finite Element mesh sculptures.

I have been working in mesh generation (mostly tetrahedral) for many years, and have often found myself fascinated by the structures as visualized in my own code and graphics.

Then I had a thought, "What if I can actually PRINT a mesh in 3-D?"

3-D printing technologies were getting better, but I had to figure out a way to generate a 'printable' mesh. I thought it would be easy.

Far from it... After over a year of work trying different mathematical methods and 3-D printing techniques, I now can generate fully 'manifold' mesh sculptures (also, new jewelry items). I am quite certain that these are the first physical/sculptural FE-based tetrahedral meshes. Ever.

You can read more about meshagons via the link below (it is quite detailed, maybe too detailed). I think it is informative; a lot of work and thought has gone into this project combining math, art/craft, and digital blacksmithing.
