Ball Surface

We were attempting to build quadric surface by spheres, both in digital and physical. The challenges are, digitally, we have to make every balls tangent to each other and touching to their neighbors by one point; physically, we need to drill the holes on the sphere very accurately by robots and assemble them together by dowels.
