Steinmetz Rolling Solids

Bi- and Triaxial Continuous Rolling Solids

 

Bi- and Tricylinder Steinmetz Solid is one of the rolling solids - objects that roll despite of their curious, non-obviously spherical shapes.

The solids are is created by intersecting two or three cylinders of equal radius at right angles.

Part the rolling solids study exploring functional geometries for metal additive manufacturing and CNC machining.
