This paper describes the process of geometric optimization and introduces a design workflow of a structure that portrays fluid motion, composed of many small spheres. It presents several possible approaches on how to organize a complex wave form to optimize its structure for robotic fabrication. The first method was based on a dynamic principle of self-organizing particles, using simulated magnetic attraction and repulsion. The second applied method used a growth algorithm to generate a structure which could be used as an uneven grid in which the original particles could be arranged. The third method, which universally negated the uneven arrangement of particles, was the arrangement of the particles into an even grid. This paper also deals with structural analysis and load-bearing capacity optimization of this structure.
