Benefits
Design optimization
Keep your model’s design intact while reducing its weight with functional lattices that can create heat exchangers or promote properties like bone and tissue ingrowth for medical applications. Use a variety of lattices to optimize your design and increase the value of your part.
Save time, material, and cost
Reduce printing time, material usage, and cost by replacing sections of your part with lattices. Your machine will have less volume and material to print, enabling you to optimize your printer’s output even further.
Stiffness control
Absorb vibrations and dampen the impact on your parts using carefully designed lattice structures. Lattices are perfect for applications requiring noise reduction or impact resistance.
Weight reduction
Create lightweight parts without sacrificing part strength. Choose which sections you want to replace and optimally reduce the weight for your application.
Applications
Heat exchanger
Increase the ratio of the surface area per volume by promoting heat exchange between the part and its environment using lattices. Additionally, the high porosity and openness of the lattices allow for liquids and gases to easily pass through to remove or add heat.
Casting
Create resin casts with tetrahedron lattices. These lattices are specifically designed to be self-supporting during resin printing and easy to burn out during casting.
Medical implants
Encourage bone growth with lattices, as implants can provide rough surfaces and porous openings, strengthening the connection between the implant and the bone.
Features
Lattice generation
Use various lattices on your parts and get the optimal results for your specific application.
Control lattices
Gain full control over your lattices, from filtering out beam lattices to adding perforations to help remove excess material.
Avoid mesh with slice-based lattices
Skip heavy file creation with slice-based lattices and make your workflow easier and faster.
Export beam lattices
Export your beams as lattices in 3MF format or mesh as an STL file.
