Lattice Generator
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
Basic workflow:
1. Prepare Your Model
- Create or open a design in Autodesk® Fusion®
- Model a solid body that will contain the lattice structure
- Save your design before generating complex lattices
2. Launch the Add-In
- Go to Utilities tab → Add-Ins panel
- Click Lattice Generator
- The dialog will open with default settings
3. Select Your Body
- Click the Body selection box
- Select a solid body or mesh body from your design
- **Important:** Only solid bodies support shape conformity (lattice confined to exact shape)
- Mesh bodies will generate lattice within the bounding box only
4. Choose Lattice Type
- Select from Lattice Type dropdown (Gyroid, Schwarz Primitive, BCC, Octet Truss, etc.)
- For TPMS lattices, choose TPMS Type (Sheet or Solid)
5. Configure Basic Parameters
- Cell Size: Size of individual lattice cells (smaller = finer detail, longer processing)
- Wall Thickness (TPMS): Thickness of the lattice walls
- Strut Diameter: (Strut-based): Diameter of connecting struts
- Resolution: Mesh detail level (0.5mm recommended; smaller = smoother but slower)
6. Generate
- Click the Generate button
- Wait for processing to complete (may take several minutes for large/complex lattices)
- Inspect the preview mesh in your viewport
- The OK button will enable once preview is generated
7. Finalize or Adjust
- If satisfied with preview, click OK to create the final mesh body
- If not satisfied, adjust parameters and click Generate again
- Click Cancel to discard and exit
