Description

In Creo13, you can now create implicit beams lattice and shells. This is an alternative method to create beams lattices, shell an object, and merge all of them together in one 3D printable object.

• The internal interfaces between beams can be blended.

Smooth transition between beams with implicit lattice

• The interface between the lattice and the shell can be blended.

Smooth blending between lattice and shell with implicit lattice

Benefits

Constant shelling capability, ability to blend the lattice with the shell

Additional Information

Tips:	None.
Limitations:	Edges and surfaces generated from implicit geometry cannot be used as reference entities for downstream features.
Does this replace existing functionality?	No.
Configuration option associated with this functionality:	None.
