Stochastic Lattices Are Improved in Additive Manufacturing
In addition to creating Stochastic lattices that use the Voronoi diagram algorithm, creating Stochastic lattices using the Delaunay triangulation algorithm is introduced.

What is the benefit of this enhancement?
Stochastic lattices, which are random lattices, were introduced in Creo Parametric 6.0. The main uses for Stochastic lattices are medical implants, chemical processes, filtration, sound absorption, shock absorption, and so on. The first implementation of stochastic lattices uses the Voronoi diagram algorithm. This is a common algorithm when you want a lattice to conform to bionic shapes.
In Creo Parametric 7.0.0.0, to provide more flexibility for Stochastic lattices, the Delaunay triangulation algorithm is available. The Delaunay triangulation generates a set of triangles to use as polygons in the model.

Adding Delaunay triangulation provides you with an additional tool to create stochastic structures that better serve your needs.
