Happy you liked it. Always open for new tutorial ideas from the community.

Great! Will be looking forward to see your creations!

If you just want it as a visual effect, you can use shader nodes. If you want the 3D mesh shape without a modifier, you can apply the modifier to create the final mesh shape, or use scultping of meshes. I will upload a tutorial for that soon.

The lattice cells should be ideally cubic and the beams connect end all at the same locations on all edges. Since you create an array in xyz. They ideally should connect in all directions.

Depending on the size of your object and the complexity you should adapt the voxel size accordingly. Too small will create processing problems. Too large won't create a properly resoluting object. The resolution of curve to points also has to be the right amount to avoid gaps between the volume/ voxels. The radius should be larger than the voxels and the curve split.

I just think merging the volume based on points is a good way. But open to hear if there is a better approach.

Thank you! If you only get spheres everywhere it could be a problem of the scale of your cell object. Try to "apply scale". Then try step by step to increase the resolution of the points on curve, points to volume and volume to mesh. It could be that any of those are too low to properly replicate the cell geometry. But go slowly and separately. You can quickly crash blender if all resolutions are too high. Please let me know if that helped.

@@romanreiner1691 Haha yes I noticed, it crashed some times :P I tried the scale, that didn't help in my case, but I played around with the different nodes and I got the cell objets to show :) Thanks for the suggestions tho, I didn't know there was an "apply scale" button in Blender, so that is very nice to know! I have been looking for that one :)

Thanks a lot! I'm glad I can help. Feel free to share the link of what you created with this inspiration.

Nice! did you also print it? As far as ai heard on the Formnext they developed a custom TPA material mix and years of development to get the bouncing right.

@@romanreiner1691 Haven't gotten to print it yet.

Blender. Check out my newest videos, there are more lattice tutorials with Blender.

Great question! I recently uploaded this tutorial creating a similar result with the shapekeys in Blender. If I get more channel subscriptions I will dedicate more time and create a few more Blender tutorials also using the geometry nodes. th-cam.com/video/PZpmyYs2MoU/w-d-xo.html

Yes I think this is a very undervalued feature. Usually mesh editing is destructive but this way you can go back and change several previous edits without any problem.

Or maybe final model.

Thank you! You can either cut them in the mesh via the knife tool (edit mode -> "K") or design them separately and unify them with boolean union. Does that make sense?

@@romanreiner1691 yea thanks i'll upload a video soon on my design, thanks for the help and your tutorial

@@makosmakes Great! Feel free to share the link here so also others can use it as inspiration! ;)

Could you explain to me how you made the seams, I am making a tennis ball with that pattern and I don't know how to combine the two things.

You could select the faces of the base geometry, separate them with edit-mode>P>Separate Selected. Then extrude them along Z and then boolean to the lattice mesh.

Blender you can get it for free on Blender.org

Yes please check out my latest tutorial and also my most successful one called "How to design a 3D lattice structure"

No, it is the entire flow. Where did you feel like missing a step?

Blender 3D. You can download it for free at blender.org

yes in mesh edit you can repair them with normal fix or recalculate outside.

join object (ctrl+j)

Yes, it is :) You can download it here www.blender.org/download/

I don't know if you are going tu read this, but he is using Blender

@@mirick2181 Thanks for sharing!

Here before the comments blow up

gj, idiot.

It is not a FEM based approach. I would suggest you do a few test prints with different thicknesses and then adapt the design accordingly.

hehe that's what my chanel is fore ;) Making great DfAM accessible to everyone.

Happy you liked it!

This is Blender 3D you can get it for free at www.blender.org

And you can also find more detailed infos about the process on the article: www.romanreiner.com/3d-lattice-structure-design-for-additive-manufacturing/

@@romanschmidt9809 Roman, how do you get multiple points to add to the mesh? When you increase End. Mine only still has a single point.

Blender, is free
