Recorded Training: Perforations Add multiple cylindrical and hexagonal perforations on multiple
curved surfaces
Texturing and Bitmapping Learn how to add roughness to a part, a design on a surface and use an
image to drive a pattern
Voronoi Lattices and Conformal Ribbing Surface latticing, creating nonperiodic lattices and
conformal ribbing
In this nTop Live, Alejandro Lopez, Application Engineer at nTopology, shows you how to create a
reusable workflow that generates a wavy texture pattern. He then applies it to two completely
different shoe sole designs, before mashing them and exporting them for testing.

Types of Lattices
Voronoi Lattices
Voronoi Lattice Ramping Thickness and Spacing
This video tutorial shows how to control every aspect of Voronoi lattice geometry. These lattices are
one of the most popular advanced geometric structures in nTop. They are used as structural ribs to
increase stiffness, shock absorption elements in 3D printed foams, or just to improve the aesthetics
of your designs due to their organic look.
Stochastic Lattices
Generating a stochastic lattice
Video Tutorial explains how to create Stochastic lattices that are widely used by medical devices,
energy absorption, and surface texturing applications.
