Gridshell Mesh

Spring a flat lattice into a curved fruit bowl

The flat half of a gridshell fruit bowl. Print this square lattice flat, then press it down into the Gridshell Hoop: the grid cannot stretch, so it bends in two directions at once and springs into a doubly curved shell with four rising corners, the same trick used for timber gridshell roofs.
