Dynamic cellular microstructure construction

A computer program product residing on a non-transient computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• demarcating, using surface-based coordinates, a plurality of areas of curvature on a digital representation of an input shape, each area of curvature representing a portion of a seamless mesh designed to cover at least a portion of the input shape;
• and
• modifying at least one base shape within each area of curvature of the mesh to accommodate the curvature relative to other portions of the seamless mesh.

An product design system comprising:

• at least one 3-D imaging device to generate a digital representation of a 3-D surface based on a surface scan received from at least one remote scanning device;
• and
• at least one design server in communication with the at least one 3-D imaging device, the at least one design server selectively accessing available design projects and optionally joining the digital representation of the 3-D surface with at least one design project, the at least one design server conforming each of the joined design projects to the 3-D surface by identifying a plurality of areas of curvature on the 3-D surface and modifying correlating areas of the joined design projects.
