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

Background


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.
