The LattiSolve Solution
Architectured Material Layout for Tailored Performance
At CRG Defense, we understand that modern systems and products demand tools and workflows that accelerate design, assessment, and optimization – helping teams bring high-performance innovation to market faster.
LattiSolve is an advanced computational toolset tailored for design for additive manufacturing (DfAM), specializing in automated lattice generation and architectured material layouts for customized performance. LattiSolve’s proprietary workflow leverages physics-driven, multi-objective topology optimization algorithms and multiphysics simulations to target and address problematic regions vulnerable to structural and thermal loads.
LattiSolve is specifically designed for engineers and designers who need to create and optimize high-performance parts where multifunctional aspects are critical. Its innovative approach enables highly scalable shape optimization, accelerating material placement by considering structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, thermal transport, and other physics-based responses. The result is automated, customized lattice structures capable of maximizing individual objectives or simultaneously optimizing for structural integrity, weight reduction, thermal management, and vibration control.
By prioritizing end-use performance under demanding operational conditions, LattiSolve significantly accelerates the development of innovative, high-performance components. It automates complex optimization processes, enabling rapid prototyping and testing of optimized designs, and dramatically reducing the time required to field new systems or bring products to market. LattiSolve is particularly effective for defense, aerospace, and other high-stakes applications where multifunctional performance is critical.
