Formula-Driven Cells for Lattices in Additive ManufacturingWhat is the benefit of this enhancement?
There are three new formula-driven cell types:
• Gyroid
• Primitive
• Diamond
Using these cell types, you can create self-supported lattice geometry for additive manufacturing. Variable density is also supported. This minimizes the support structures that are required for 3D printed parts. Printing is faster, less material is required, and postprocessing is reduced.
