nTop Live: Functional Toolpath Design for FDM/FFF
This video shows how to make FDM/FFF infill, featuring the zigs and the zags:
nTop Live: Periodic Structures with Multiple Domains for Heat Transfer and Beyond
This video shows how to create implicit models like heat exchangers with multiple, layered, interconnected domains:
nTop Live: Introduction to the Two-Body Field
One of the most useful fields in implicit modeling is the the two-body field of two distance fields \(A\) an \(B\):
\[\frac{A-B}{A+B}\]In this video, I demonstrate its beauty and power in nTopology:
