At the core of our philosophy is the belief that traditional CAD workflows are not only relevant but also well-suited for smart lattice creation.

Instead of starting with meshed volumes, we focus on meshing 2D sketches—a long-standing cornerstone of CAD design. This approach makes lattice structures more intuitive to create and easier to modify, while avoiding the complexities and limitations often associated with algorithmic volume meshing.

With our LDS Add-In, the process begins just like any traditional CAD design: with a simple 2D sketch. This sketch is transformed into a meshed sketch, which can then become a volume using familiar operations like extrude, revolve, or loft to create volumetric, conformal lattices. These lattices can be easily modified and combined together, offering flexibility and control throughout the design process.

By mirroring the traditional CAD workflow, our approach ensures that engineers can seamlessly apply their existing knowledge and expertise. This allows every lattice structure to be purpose-built, tailored to its specific application, and fully aligned with the designer’s intent.
