Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) Assistive Tools to Design for Additive Manufacturing

Lightweight structure parts manufactured by additive manufacturing :

• New form part
• Lattice structures

New requirements for CAD tools :

• Requires to create lattice structure part in CAD software easily and quickly.
• A need to define a new CAD file format to replace current CAD file formats which are not well adapted to lattice structures
