Types of lattice structures
There is a wide range of unit cell types, from graph to surface-based lattice structures, each of which is appropriate for different applications.
Beam
For lightweight structures with excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
Honeycombs
For structures with high compression strength and directional stiffness.
Stochastic
For porous foam-like structures that approximate isotropy at larger sizes.
TPMS
For structures with large surface area, high stiffness, and excellent manufacturability.
Aerojet Rocketdyne
Light, reliable quad thruster enables low-cost space exploration
Aerojet Rocketdyne used nTop’s shell-and-infill latticing capability to develop a RCS quad thruster that is 67% lighter and 66% less expensive than competing solutions.
