Solidify
6min
Solidified lattices are derived from strut lattices and are a necessary step to convert the paths & nodes into a triangulated mesh, or STL file, for printing.
There are two workflow paths for creating a solidified strut lattice:
The circular cross section of struts are faceted to 6 sides by default when converted to a printable mesh file.
The user can choose to adjust the facets up to 16 sides. Reference Sides per Strut for more information.
The Apply Base feature creates a flat surface on the base struts to ensure platform adhesion during printing.
Use this feature when you want to adhere your lattice directly to the platform.
