For this task, I designed a pattern for the dodecahedron using Procreate. Initially, I wasn’t sure which direction to take, so I started by freely sketching shapes. I mirrored parts of my drawing to create a reflection effect and experimented with a grid-like structure made of triangles and rectangles. After finishing the sketch, I took a photo of my drawing and imported it into Rhino 8 to vectorize it. To make sure the design would hold together when produced, I added thin connecting lines. The design evolved naturally through trial and repetition. Inspired by geometric symmetry, my parametric approach allows for endless variations. The final result is a unique and structured yet playful composition.

Worked perfectly

It didn't work out, because the lines were to small. So the Lasercutter cutted thru the thin lines.

Final Version
This task was really cool to do, especially because I had never tried something like this before. At first, using Rhino 3D was a bit challenging, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I'm really happy with how my final version turned out—it looks great to me! The only thing I'm a bit disappointed about is that I couldn't make smaller lines, since they kept getting messed up.
