This triangular structure ring by Bits to Atoms for Shapeways is a printed nylon rings that is one of the coolest little structures I have ever seen. The computer designs the ring using the fewest triangles possible (as triangles are the strongest structure), to create a unique-looking 3D geometric ring.
The triangular structure ring was designed to showcase not only the technical structure of rings in general, but also the minimum amount of lines and materials used to create this particular design.
