Circle Pack Mesh

In this Grasshopper example file, you can take these 3 steps:

Step 01: Use the Kangaroo plugin to circle pack a mesh using the “TangentIncircles” component.

Step 02: Then, convert the circles into a fabrication model by defining rectangular Lasercut/CNC joints.

Step 03: Finally, nest the parts in a series of sheets and number the joints based on the circular nodes they are connecting.
