Abstract
A three dimensional object having a first one-piece build style lattice including a plurality of substantially uniform build style units and a second one-piece build style lattice integrally formed with and interlaced with the first lattice, the second lattice including a plurality of substantially uniform build style units.
Claims20
A method for forming a three dimensional object, said method comprising the steps of:
- generating a digital representation of the object;
- generating a digital representation of a first build style lattice having a predetermined, substantially uniform structure;
- generating a digital representation of a second build style lattice having a structure similar to the first build style lattice;
- overlaying the respective representations of the object, the first build style lattice and the second build style lattice;
- intersecting the overlaid representations to generate a digital representation of the object incorporating the first build style lattice and the second build style lattice;
- and
- fabricating the digital representation of the object.
