EGGCRATOR: automated eggcrate creator

This grasshopper definition will take a closed 3 dimensional surface as an input and generate an approximation of that shape with an "eggcrate." It will also produce a set of numbered cutting templates for each rib of your eggcrate which you will be able to use for various digital fabrication mechanisms, like a laser cutter or CNC mill. The procedure for setting up your file is listed in the definition.
