Design lattice structures
Build periodic, TPMS, Voronoi and randomized lattices. Make them conformal to a part, grade them heterogeneously, combine them with CAD bodies through Boolean operations, and export to STL for printing.
Software
ixScale
AI-driven design for additive manufacturing. Design lattice structures, run FEA, and perform topology optimization in one tool, with an AI agent that builds the model for you.

A free trial of the beta version is available, and education licenses are free.
Run FEA
Validate designs with finite element analysis. Numerical homogenization gives the effective properties of a lattice, so large structures can be simulated without meshing every strut.
Optimize structures
Find where material is needed and remove the rest. Topology optimization results can drive a heterogeneous lattice map, turning an optimized density field into a printable lattice.
