A Gif showcasign the lattice feature in Womp

Lattice 3d printing represents the future of efficient manufacturing - creating strong, lightweight structures that use significantly less material than solid objects. Womp's groundbreaking new Lattice feature transforms any solid geometry into advanced internal support structures.

Experience Lattice with Womp and revolutionize your manufacturing efficiency.

The lattice advantage in manufacturing

Traditional solid 3D printing wastes material in non-critical areas. Lattice 3d printing strategically places material only where structural support is needed, following advanced manufacturing principles used by aerospace and automotive industries:

Material reduction: Up to 60% less material usage compared to solid prints.

Weight optimization: Internal frameworks dramatically reduce part weight while maintaining structural integrity.

Cost efficiency: Lower material consumption directly reduces printing costs through our integrated 3D printing service.

Print speed: Less material typically means faster printing times and improved efficiency.
