net work is a custom designed software that produces g-code for 3d printing. The generated objects are characterized by a meshlike structure that is achieved through non-planar printing meaning the printed filament is not only built up layerwise but also directly upright. Similar to the process of basket-weaving, the objects are created by alternating between freestanding vertical strands of filament and horizontally extruded connection layers. Apart from the distinctive cloudlike aesthetic, this way of production only uses a minimal amount of material and thereby renders the finished products super lightweight.
