florescence cristata 1

nylon 3D printed by Selective Laser Sintering

This form resulted from the growth of a hemisphere where growth was promoted along a line in the interior. This growth method was inspired by the abnormal crested growth forms of cacti where the apical meristem is deformed into a line resulting in convoluted growth where it should normally be cylindrical or branching.
