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.

Solidify Workflow

There are two workflow paths for creating a solidified strut lattice:





Solidify Options

Sides per Strut

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.

Apply Base

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.
