LatticeIT is a simple and intuitive design tool that converts CT scan-reconstructed STL files into porous scaffolds for body implants and tissue engineering. This design tool allows the user to manipulate the parameters of the lattice used to populate the design domain. For example, the user can choose the type of unit cell from a wide range of cells, cell category (sheet-networks or solid-networks), porosity, and unit cell size. Upon converting the solid CT scan to a porous structure, the software allows the user to calculate the surface area, reduce the mesh size to reduce the overall file size, and finally export the porous STL file for 3D printing purposes.

This design tool is undergoing continuous development. If you have questions or for collaboration potentials please contact me.
