Lattice structures have long been a cornerstone of lightweight design, with applications ranging from the Eiffel Tower to the sandwich panels of aircraft wings.

In this article, you’ll learn about the different types of lattice structures and how to use them to print designs with high complexity and inherently small features. https://ntopolo.gy/mty

Together, architected materials and additive manufacturing can help you achieve greater impact absorption in your designs.

That includes everything from 3D printed foams for impact absorption to porous structures that promote bone growth and from soft robotics to exotic metamaterials.

Check out this article to learn how nTop can help you design more effective surface and volumetric filters through additive manufacturing.

Incorporating geometric design features otherwise impossible with conventional tools can substantially increase performance with relatively little design effort. https://ntopolo.gy/h5c

In just 30 days, engineers from nTop, Origin, and Stress Engineering Services redesigned a family of F-16 aircraft hydraulic tube clamps for Additive Manufacturing.

They created a part that was 2x stiffer than the legacy design, 5% lighter, easier to assemble, and manufacturable on-demand.

Working with VELO3D and nTop, Sierra Turbines reduced the number of parts in a microturbine from 61 to just one.

Key takeaways from the project:
-40x Increase in time between overhaul (TBO)
-Increased thrust-to-weight (or power-to-weight for turbo-gen applications)
-Decreased unit cost to machines of comparable power
