Abstract
According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may identify a pattern to be visible in a portion of a lattice structure, determine a first zone in a digital model of the lattice structure corresponding to the identified pattern, and determine a second zone in the digital model corresponding to a location outside of the first zone. The processor may also arrange a plurality of seeds at a first density level in the first zone, arrange a plurality of seeds at a second density level in the second zone, and grow cells from the plurality of seeds to form the lattice structure in the digital model. The cells may grow until edges of the cells contact edges of neighboring cells to form cells at a different density level in the first zone than the second zone to cause the identified pattern to be visible from the cells.
