Case: Honeycomb roll

The development and production of this honeycomb roll was part of a student project. The model is used in the production of honeycomb plates. This product cannot be manufactured in a conventional way, 3D metal printing offers a solution.

Do you know: the shape and orientation of the comb also determine whether a worker or a queen will grow from it.
