By combining the capabilities of its CAD integrated software platform and 3D printing, General Lattice is looking to replace traditional foam material with advanced lattice geometries that are impossible with conventional manufacturing technologies…to ‘enhance soldier protection and survivability for the warfighter.’
Lattice materials will revolutionize the way companies manufacture new innovative products across all commercial, industrial, and military markets.
This latest fundraising round will enable General Lattice to invest resources into a recently secured R&D contract with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center (DEVCOM SC).
When installed as a plug-in for the Rhino 3D modeling software, the company says that its platform allows adopters to “move beyond traditional design constraints,” and enter “next-gen applications.”
By customizing the size of a helmet, 3D printing could bring a lot of advantages to protective head gear.
