					<description><![CDATA[&quot;What are some interesting applications of Voronoi Diagrams that you know?&quot;

We&#039;ve traditionally built bridges and structures from trusses because beams are easy to manufacture, but in nature, trusses don&#039;t exist, but voronoi patterns do.  It&#039;s nature&#039;s &quot;truss&quot; essentially.  Cellular Tissue forms in 2D and 3D voronoi patterns/volumes.  Molds, fungi, Bone marrow, wings of insects, in stems and stalks of plants, heck, a honeycomb in a beehive is just a very specific type of voronoi pattern. 

3D Printing as well, we are starting to see Voronoi 3D-printed casts instead of traditional plaster-poured casts.  I mean, I guess we can&#039;t even call it a cast any more because it&#039;s not &quot;cast&quot; it&#039;s printed/extruded.  It&#039;s just a limb-fracture ligature support or however you want to call it.  Prosthetics and Bioengineered materials.  No longer being limited by traditional manufacturing, like casts, forges, and milling, 3D printing allows man-made structures to have more optimized shapes determined by finite element solutions that end up looking like voronoi designs.]]></description>
