Abstract
In some embodiments, techniques for creating fabricable segmented designs for physical devices are provided. A proposed segmented design is determined based on a design specification. The proposed segmented design includes a plurality of segments that each includes an indication of a material for the segment. The proposed segmented design also includes lattice members and lattice voids. A size of the lattice members and a size of the lattice voids are greater than a size of the segments and are greater than or equal to at least one of a minimum feature width and a minimum feature spacing of a fabrication system Performance of the proposed segmented design is simulated. One or more lattice members and lattice voids are chosen to change to improve the performance of the proposed segmented design.
