LATTICE OPTIMIZATION

Smarter lattices, faster design cycles 

Spherene Structure
background 2

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%
