ABSTRACT
Sea shells are an intricate natural object that have been studied and modeled mathematically and computationally. With the advent of consumer 3-D printing, some recent work has gone into creating realistic printed versions. This project has attempted to extend techniques of modeling sea shell protrusions, through reaction-diffusion textures, and to ultimately use 3-D printers to fabricate the concrete from the abstract. The techniques involved in generating models and textures are outlined.
