Abstract Scope |
A number of lattice design software tools have emerged, aiming to enable the full power of lattice structures for additive manufacturing. However, even with these software tools, applying a lattice to a component can be a complicated task due to its high complexity and the numerous approaches available. However, these software packages do facilitate the lattice design process and also ensure accuracy and reliability. This paper aims to provide an overview of the current landscape of lattice design software, with a particular focus on eight prominent platforms. Throughout the study, each software's features and functionalities were examined, shedding light on the main shared and distinguishing characteristics. Several notable patterns emerged during the analysis, revealing significant overlaps between certain software offerings. This observation suggests a shared goal among these platforms, wherein they strive to address common challenges and meet the same objectives in lattice design. |
