LATTICE OPTIMIZATION
Smarter lattices, faster design cycles


Designing optimal lattices manually is time-consuming, prone to error, and slows down product development.
Conventional lattices often need many iterations before certification.
THE SOLUTION WITH SPHERENE
ADMS automatically generates load-adaptive, continuously graded, certifiable lattices directly in your CAD, reducing trial-and-error and accelerating time-to-market.
Key Benefits:
- Faster product design and fewer manual iterations
- Predictable mechanical performance for quicker approval
- Support-free, printable geometries
GE BRACKET: SPHERENE EDITION
Challenge: Design a lightweight titanium jet engine lifting bracket capable of withstanding extreme loads in multiple directions (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, torsional). Original part weighed 2,033 g.
Method:
- ADMS lattices where used to selectively remove material from low-stress regions while reinforcing critical load paths.
- Finite-element simulations guided lattice density to ensure predictable stiffness zones.
- Optimized with minimal support structures to reduce build time and material usage.
Results:
- Print mass: -7% vs. competition winner
- Support volume: -58%
- Engineering time: -64%
- Post-processing time: -80%
- Total cost savings: 49%

Impact:
Achieved lighter, certified, high-performance aerospace part with full structural integrity, demonstrating how simulation-driven lattice optimization can outperform traditional and even award-winning designs.
