Ah! I had started working on tetra-lattice supports several years ago, but got distracted and never went back to it. I figured it would give a relatively optimal strength to material ratio and could scale pretty well up or down. This wasn’t an original idea. Between ‘00 and ‘03 I worked at MSOE’s Rapid Prototyping Center and one of the research teams there pioneered a method of using 3D printed tetra-lattice to make cooling channels in injection tooling.
