About latticing

Lattice Assistant

• Compact and streamlined tool for hollowing, lattice generation, and merging, as well as generation of perforation and matching plugs for drainage

Lattice Commander

• Create and modify individual lattices and skins for your project

3S

• Netfabb's established modules to define, generate, and customize lattices and lattice patterns, or unit cell topologies.

• Uses a fixed selection of beam-and-junction unit cell topologies

• Uses a fixed selection of beam-and-junction unit cell topologies

• Comes with an example selection of beam-and-junction and mesh-based unit cell topologies
• Contains an editor to define custom beam-and-junction and mesh-based topologies
• Beam profile, the cross-sectional shape, is freely definable, and includes shape compensation that accounts for the individual angling of beams generated from profiles

• Consumes mesh models
• Returns a mesh to the platform

• Consumes mesh models, bar supports, and lattice generation results from 3S
• Outputs meshes and tet-meshes for FEA

• Consumes mesh models
• Outputs meshes, slices, structure information for Ansys and Abaqus analysis, and beam-and-junction data to Lattice Commander

Optimization Utility and Lattice Topology Utility

• Generates lattices and skins, and simulates and optimizes them against static loads
• Simulates and optimizes solid shapes against static loads

• Comes with a fixed selection of beam-and-junction unit cell topologies
• Lattice Topology Utility defines custom beam-and-junction topologies

• Consumes mesh files
• Outputs mesh as well as beam-and-junction data to Lattice Commander
