Parametric Design in Products

My take: That funky Voronoi truss stuff is hard to injection mold (undercuts galore). That isn’t an issue for architectural scale, or rapid-manufactured products, which is why those are the most popular applications for it. There also isn’t as much need for semi-open membranes like there is in architecture.

Still, I think there’s an awesome opportunity to use these tools for pattern/texture detailing on consumer products. You can seen the influence in a lot of Nike’s running shoes.
