I created this pendant in ImplicitCAD using a Python script.
I wanted to make a piece that would be castable and unique. This pendant is derived from the following parametric equation for a heart:
X(t) = 16*sin^3(t)
Y(t) = 13*cos(t) - 5*cos(2*t) - 2*cos(3*t) - cos(4*t)
(Ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8082429/plot-a-heart-in-r)
I then wrote a recursive function in Python to generate a pattern of holes that seemed effervescent.
I originally started this project with OpenSCAD (which is a fantastic program), however it proved difficult to create rounded edges. ImplicitCAD has a much simpler method for creating rounded edges. The language is similar to OpenSCAD, and I like the idea of scriptable CAD in general.
