Im curious if there is anyway to invert a wireframe so that it makes cuts in the mesh rather than form a wire, if anyone has a solution that would help in the scenario without using the wireframe modifier that would be appreciated as well, thank you

Makes cuts in the mesh? – R-800 Mar 02 '21 at 23:04

2maybe overlay this cube over the solid one, apply modifier and use boolean difference to cut wires out of another cube – Mr Zak Mar 02 '21 at 23:14

1Duplicate object, have one with wireframe modifier, add boolean? – Nascent Space Mar 02 '21 at 23:14

Is this a hack?
First, give your object a vertex group, set to a very low weight for all vertices.. mine's called 'Shell_VG'
Give your object an Edge Split modifier, on all edges, followed by a Solidify Modifier, set to fill the rim, and weight the 'Shell_VG' group.
Then a Displace modifier along normals to shrink the faces, and a Mask modifier aimed at the shell vertex group, set to a higher threshold than the one you set originally.
For the pink result:
If you don't mind solid faces, you can cut out all the masking steps.

This could be done with shaders, too, if you don't need the geometry, or you could use a variation on this method, which uses bevels, rather than displacement.. – Robin Betts Mar 03 '21 at 10:42
