Abstract
A method of generating a three-dimensional product having a cubic internal structure in a process controlled by a computing device. The method comprises receiving a manufacturing request datum from a user client device, wherein the manufacturing request datum further comprises at least an element of a product definition. The method further comprises defining a lattice volume of the manufacturing request datum, wherein defining the at least a lattice volume further comprises defining at least a lattice cell, wherein the at least a lattice cell is comprised within the lattice volume. The method further comprises determining a response characteristic of each lattice cell of the plurality of lattice cells, wherein determining a response characteristic further comprises simulating the application of at least a force on at least a part of the manufacturing request datum as a function of the product definition. The method further comprises selecting a unit structure.
