Abstract
A novel process for creating porous structures via additive manufacturing processes such as material deposition or powder bed fusion additive manufacturing is provided. The process reduces the computational requirement for generation of the porous structure geometry and for processing the porous structure geometry to generate CNC code. The process provides reduced file size for CNC code and avoids large files which may exceed capacity of manufacturing machines. The process also significantly reduces the time required to manufacture the porous structure on an additive manufacturing machine.
