Honeycomb Panel

Thin-walled hexagonal panel with wave-varying cell depth

Hexagonal Grid produces hexagon cells, then each cell is offset inward to form a wall of given thickness. Each cell's outer and inner curve pair becomes a ring-shaped Boundary Surface. Every cell's depth is computed from its distance to an attractor point and extruded upward, so the honeycomb panel forms a wavy relief. This pattern is used in lightweight panels, acoustic walls and 3D print infill.

Components and plugins

Components used

Hexagonal
Offset Curve
Graft Tree
Boundary Surfaces
Area
Distance
Remap Numbers
Extrude

Plugins required

None. It uses only the components built into Grasshopper.

Parameters you can change

Cell Size (0.5 to 5): hexagon cell radius
Count X (3 to 30): cells in X
Wall Thickness (0.02 to 0.5): cell wall thickness
Max Depth (0.5 to 8): depth of the cell nearest the attractor

How the definition works

1Set the sliders in the Parameters group (Cell Size, Count X, Wall Thickness, Max Depth).
2Hexagon cells: Hexagonal Grid followed by an inward Offset Curve by the wall thickness.
3Attractor depth: Cell-centre distance to the attractor is mapped to extrusion depth.
4Extrusion: Every hexagon ring is extruded upward by its depth.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get the real file?

Yes. The pictures on this page are only previews. After payment we send the download link of the real project file (a ZIP containing the .gh and .ghx definition, the baked .3dm, images and a BACA-DULU.txt note) by WhatsApp or email.

Which Grasshopper version do I need?

The file was made in Rhino 8 with Grasshopper (Rhino 8). Newer versions open it too.

Can you adapt it to my design?

Yes, as a separate order. Message us on WhatsApp with a short description of the size and shape you want.
