Digital Models for Additive Manufacturing
In GeoDict, both strut-based and surface-based lattice structures can be modeled
In additive manufacturing processes such as selective laser sintering or direct metal laser sintering, it is not only the selection of the right material that plays an important role but also the structure inside the part. Lattice structures are often used here, such as strut-based or surface-based lattices. A lattice structure offers a number of advantages:
- weight reduction
- improved mechanical properties
- physical properties, such as thermal and electrical properties, can be tailored to your application
- flow properties can be optimized
