Yep. But asking for this in metal is bonkers. You’d need both the textile geek and a machinist to collab closely. And they would both need a deep Trek knowledge/appreciation. To remake this with metal would be just the project of a millionaire with a deep love of all things Trek.
Material Arts and Design is a conglomeration of many disciplines. Often textiles, jewelry, ceramics, sometimes glass blowing and furniture making. You are way over thinking this. This would be a fun colab. They’re not even regular hexagons. They look like they were made with felt sheets.
I don’t think I am wrong here. The irregularity is what makes it difficult. Don’t even think about specific units here; 2x2x2x2x2x2 is easy. 1.9x2.4x3x2x3.5x2x is difficult.
A textile geek could have this back to you before lunch using scraps found in the scrap pile.
And looking closely at it, that’s exactly how it was made.

You’re trying to use a big, high tech machine to make it. I’m talking about using a coping saw. Quite different approaches.
