In this design video tutorial, Christopher Cho, nTop’s medical application expert, demonstrates how to generate and control some of the most common lattice structures currently used in orthopedic implants using nTop.
He first describes the basic concepts and design considerations when generating lattice structures for medical applications and then applies the process to a spinal fusion implant.
Watch this video to learn how to use nTop to:
- Quickly generate randomized and ordered lattice structures
- Leverage the nTop Notebook to manage multiple design workflows at a time
- Develop workflows that are reusable across any kind of geometry
