…technologies. However, the advances in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing flipped the situation. Many CAD users found out their software couldn’t digitally model the complex shapes AM hardware is itching to print. Classic parametric modelers were developed to produce geometry suited for machine shops. But AM is capable of so much more. It can produce lattice fills, membrane-like structures…
