Part Description and Specifications for
"Figure-8 Knot"

This is the geometrical model of a future sculpture. It was designed by Carlo Séquin with the SLIDE environment.

(The generator files are in SLIDE_programs/SWEEP).

Front: Side: Top:

In these .STL files the swept curve and the base are separate parts that interpenetrate. No boolean union operation has been performed to fuse the B-reps. Thus this needs software that does not get upset when slice contours intersect, and which hopefully performs a decent union operation following the winding number paradigm.
