3D Hex 3D hexagonal grid similar to honeycomb structures. Cross-sections alternate between hexagons and square. |
Lattices
Select a Lattice structure and Lattice trimming option.
Lattice Three dimensional lattice infill pattern |
|
Regular Cube Lattice Simple cube lattice infill pattern |
|
Cube Lattice with Center Supports Cube lattice with supports from all corners of the cube intersecting at the center of the cube |
|
Cube Lattice with Side Cross Supports Cube lattice with cross supports between edges on each face of the enclosing cube |
|
Cube Lattice with Side Diagonal Supports Cube lattice with diagonal supports between vertices on each face of the enclosing cube |
|
Cube Lattice with Bottom Center Cube lattice with supports that meet at the bottom face center of the enclosing cube |
|
Cube Lattice with Bottom Center Without Vertical Supports Cube lattice with supports that meet at the bottom face center of the enclosing cube but without vertical supports |
|
Double Pyramid Lattice Double pyramid lattice with lateral supports |
|
Double Pyramid Lattice with Cross Double pyramid lattice with internal cross supports |
|
Diamond Lattice Double pyramid without the lateral supports |
|
Double Pyramid Lattice and Face Diagonals Double pyramid in the center of the lattice with diagonals on faces of the enclosing cube |
|
Octahedral-1 |
|
Octahedral-2 |
|
Tetrahedral Faceted Lattice Boundary conforming lattice structure, where the lattice elements follow the edges of tetrahedra. |
|
Triangle Surface Faceted Lattice Uniform surface lattice, smoothly connected at the vertices with triangular holes. |
|
Hexagon Surface Faceted Lattice Smoothed Voronoi dual to the triangular surface mesh. Holes are on average hexagonal. |
Select a lattice trim option:
None: No explicit trimming is done. The internal lattice structure is trimmed by the original part, which may leave dangly lattice pieces that are not connected to other lattice pieces | |
Remove partial segments: trims the dangling pieces back so that every lattice has at least two lattice edges ending in it. | |
Boundary conforming: builds a Triangular Lattice between the surface of the geometry shell and the interal lattice structure. |
- The Boundary conforming and Remove
partial segments options are not available for the following
lattice types, since they are already boundary conforming by design.
- Tetrahedral Faceted Lattice
- Triangle Surface Faceted Lattice
- Hexagon Surface Faceted Lattice
- Lattice trimming is not available for the three dimensional infill pattern "Lattice".
Minimal Surfaces
Gyroid Belongs to Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces. |
|
Schwarz P Two intertwined congruent labyrinths, each with the shape of an inflated tubular version of the simple cubic lattice. |
|
Schwarz D Two intertwined congruent labyrinths, each having the shape of an inflated tubular version of the diamond bond structure. |
|
Neovius A triply periodic minimal surface, dividing space into two infinite non-equivalent labyrinths. |
|
Lidinoid A triply periodic minimal surface similar to a gyroid. |
You can choose to add a smooth transition from the minimal surface infills to the boundary of the original part. Select Boundary transition and specify an appropriate value for Radius to add a smooth blend to the boundary.
