Support for Beam Lattices in 3D Manufacturing Format (3MF) in Additive Manufacturing
Saving to 3MF when exporting beam lattices is more efficient.
User Interface Location: Click File > Options and then click Additive Manufacturing. Select the Use 3MF Lattice extension check box. Then when you save the file, click File > Save As and for Type select 3MF.
Release: Creo Parametric 6.0.1.0
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
In 3D printing, printing dense lattice structures to 3MF is more efficient. For the purpose of printability, the beam lattice is exported by the nodes and beam parameters instead of by meshing every beam. To save the lattice definition, select the Use 3MF Lattice extension check box when exporting the file. You can use this extension for beam lattices with circular cross sections and for simplified representations of lattices.
