Hello Everyone.
I've this dome I want to build up based on a voronoi pattern. Every edge has to be intact so there needs to be an edge of 15mm around each hole before the voronoi pattern starts.
I've tried using https://www.voronator.com/ but it ofcouse makes the hole dome into one voronoi pattern. How can I do this correct as I wish?
Do I need to wrap a image around the dome and 3D sketch all structures for extruding a voronoi pattern or how is this achievable.
Thanks. Best regards.
You can use the Voronator base geometry, and complete it with Inventor features.
Show us, what you have as Inventor files.

I don't think it will be good?
I have attached the sphere also and OBJ file if you want to make / improve in Voronator quick and then the Sphere model I made from Voronator myself.
As shown in this picture I'm just playing around with a concept model for a underwater robot.
It can be done in Inventor, after reducing the mesh numbers to only 10% of the initial numbers.
Unfortunately the resulting IPT is near to 70 MB. Therefore only a picture.

Only a few words:
- Reduce the mesh elements of the initial file, perhaps with Meshmixer
- Open it in Inventor
- Convert the initial mesh there to a solid, using the MeshEnabler App
- Create a partial sphere surface at one of the cutouts
- Thicken that surface to a new solid
- Drill solid
- Polar pattern from that
- Join Combine it with the Voronoi base
Last step is mirroring to another body. I didn't combine further, because of waiting time.
