A computer-implemented method for constructing structures using beams bounded by quadric surfaces of revolution includes generating a quador beam within a computer-aided design (CAD) tool. The quador beam comprises two spheres at opposing endpoints, and the beam is bounded by a quadric surface of revolution around an axis of symmetry joining the center of the two spheres. The quadric surface of revolution abuts with tangent continuity with the surface of each of the spheres. Once generated, the quador beam can be visualized in the CAD tool or another display medium.

Quador: quadric-of-revolution beams for lattices

A method, and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums, for designing and manufacturing a part. A method includes receiving part data for a part to be manufactured. The method includes creating a set of balls and beams in a computer-aided design (CAD) model, in a patterning structure and based on the part data. The method includes constructing a steady lattice structure in the CAD model. The method includes displaying the CAD model including the steady lattice structure.
