Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Design

Expand Design Possibilities using just one Material

Ever imagined a single material could feel as hard as solid plastic and as soft as foam? Learn how you unlock the full potential of your 3D design with our Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Design Service.

What are Lattices?

3D-printed lattices are repeated structural patterns comprised of interconnected elements. These 3D-printed micro-architectures unlock entirely new designs that have been considered before unmakeable.

This allows using only one material with a whole range of different mechanical properties by finetuning the combination of lattice characteristics leading to higher comfort, better rebound, aeration, and reduced weight.​

Application Benefits

  • Design Freedom
  • Weight Reduction​
  • Passive Ventilation​
  • Shock Absorption​
  • Energy Recovery

Leverage the Endless Potential of Lattices

Choosing from millions of lattice options can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be with Forward AM. Our Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Library simplifies this complexity, providing you with expertly characterized lattice structures.

With our Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Design Service, we guide you every step of the way, helping you avoid what we call the “Lattice Road to Hell,” where wrong lattice choices can lead to suboptimal designs, wasted time, resources.

Accelerate Your Success

  • Streamline the entire development process from concept to scale
  • Cover all stages: design, simulation, printing, and testing
  • Save valuable time and resources

Global Expertise at Your Fingertips
