![]() I've even done it once in MeshMixer for a fun Halloween project for a local Stratasys reseller, PADT:īut there's a hugely powerful next gen CAD system + programming language + topology optimization tool that some of our most advanced aerospace and automotive customers use, called nTopology, and just last month, I finally got a license of nTop and got a workflow to work for me, creating quick lattices with these steps:Īnd THEN, instead of printing that part in ONE technology, I actually had three different parts of Stratasys print it for me in THREE different technologies, so we can see the up and downsides of each: I've done it once before using Rhino + Grasshopper, but it was a pain to map back onto complex CAD shapes, if you read that tutorial. You can't manually CAD them up, that takes too long. ![]() ![]() This is a tutorial I've wanted to do for a long time.įor YEARS, every time I went to a 3D printing tradeshow or looked on reddit, all I would see are these amazing complex, 3D printed lattices:Īnd as we've discussed before, this sort of random lattice/Voronoi shape is fast becoming the "3D Printing Aesthetic", letting you immediately know what process was used to create that object you're holding:īut how do you actually MAKE those organic, complex, curved random lattice shapes for 3D printing? We cover how to create complex, strong, organic, yet lightweight shapes for 3D printing using a powerful next-generation generative software, called nTopology, and then compare the results on three different 3D printing methods- FDM, DLP (P3) and Powderbed (SAF)!
