Honeycomb 3d surface

Anonymous

I]ve searched the forum and only found mentions to using an image to create a 3d surface but I need something more precise than that.

 

My idea is to create, a honeycomb surface, 1 skin, inner honeycomb and another skin, like a material, that is 3 dimensional and has configurable settings like cells diameter and spacing from the honeycomb to the covering surfaces.

 

This material would then be applied to an object like a solid body and would be printed on a 3d printer.

 

Do you see the kind of honeycomb a 3d printer does upwards? I need it horizontally.

 

Imagine a cylinder whose surface is honeycomb all around.

 

On flat surface solids I could do this in a few steps but on complex curved surfaces I don]t see how I could make a consistent honeycomb surface.

 

This would allow very strong and light 3d printed objects with none or little inner structure.

 

Probably an hexagonal honeycomb would not print that well, maybe a diamond shape wth edges at 50 or 60 degrees would print better...

 

Is there a way to create a pattern and apply it to a surface on fusion?

@Anonymous  have a look at the shape optimization in the sim work spaces, with this you can set a forces in more than one direction so over all it could make a infill that is stronger, It's what airbus are playing with.
