This “Weaire-Phelan Salver” is part of a set of three tableware pieces inspired by the Weaire-Phelan structure, the most mathematically efficient way for equal-volume bubbles to fit together to make foam. 

See here for video: https://youtu.be/f4YIuS_-hSE

The Weaire-Phelan structure is made up of two pentagonal dodecahedra (12-sided) and six tetrakaidecahedra (14-sided) that form a translation unit with a lattice periodicity which is simple cubic. In crystallography, this structure is also known as the A15 Frank-Kasper phase.

There is a good introduction to the “Weaire–Phelan structure” here: http://www.steelpillow.com/polyhedra/wp/wp.html

The “coral” aesthetic of this platter goes well with sushi, but it could be used for anything.

"Tray (regular)" prints without supports but doesn't look as nice. "Tray (extended)" is pictured above. The extended edge looks nicer, but it requires a fair amount of supports to print.

Cover with a piece of parchment paper for food safety purposes.

The “coral” pattern is derived from an elongated gyroid triply periodic minimal surface with a Voronoi pattern applied.

Rectangular Coral Sushi Platter

Do Not Print.stl

The “coral” aesthetic of this platter goes well with sushi, but it could be used for anything.

The top is designed to hold an 8 1/2" diameter Corelle plate. Using a plate is the best option for food safety purposes, but you could also print the included "plate" and cover with parchment paper or other food safe covering.

The “coral” pattern is derived from an elongated gyroid triply periodic minimal surface with a Voronoi pattern applied.
