helical lattice sculpture 3d model
a single continuous tapering Archimedean helical ribbon that forms an elegant spiral tower. The ribbon gradually narrows from a wide base toward a narrower top, creating a natural upward chimney for passive airflow. The helical ribbon features an inward bevel along its inner edge to guide droplets toward the center using Laplace pressure gradients. Integrate a Schoen gyroid TPMS lattice throughout the ribbon volume to maximize surface area for droplet nucleation and hydrogel coating adhesion while preserving solid outer and inner skins for structural strength and printability. A central hollow vertical axis runs through the core, featuring subtle helical micro-grooves that function as an Archimedean screw for gravity-driven downward water transport. The inner edge of the helical ribbon connects seamlessly to this axis, ensuring continuous drainage paths from the porous lattice to the base exit.passive chimney effect, directional droplet movement inward and downward, high-surface-area
