It is used throughout the games and AI industry for many different reasons, but mainly used for runtime pathfinding for NPC’s in games. Out of the possible methods for pathfinding this is used in most cases due to its guaranteed accuracy to find the shortest path on any map.

Even the ball bearings were 3D printed. I was very pleased with the print quality for this.
