BASF Forward AM to highlight new Ultrasim 3D Lattice Engine at RAPID + TCT 2023

BASF Forward AM Ultrasim 3D Lattice Engine will be introduced as a new software solution. It allows users to use a program to explore lattice geometries, and then implement them in product design cycles, according to the company.

The solution powered by HyperganicBASF claims that. offers a wide range of lattice pattern options, each of them having been validated and tested for various application groups. At the RAPID + TCT Booth #2445 will feature information on new software, materials, and parts.

On Tuesday, May 2, the Forward AM booth will host a workshop where guests can test out the software. Florian Fischer, BASF Forward’s Head of Service and Solutions, and Stijn Pridaens (CEO of) will give a talk on booth #4230. Ziggzagg, will be demoing the software.

BASF Forward AM claims that users will be able to access a library of lattices with the new software. The user can choose the lattice which best fits their requirements, and then input that information into the software to create a digital summary of the mechanical properties.

After inputting the desired application area, the software finds lattice designs validated for similar use cases, then uses comprehensive modelling to automatically generate lattice parts that fit the user’s design parameters according to the company. Using Hyperganic’s assembly-level voxel engine, the lattice parts are generated and modulated in seconds says the company.

In a release announcing the announcement, BASF Forward AM highlighted the three main benefits that the Ultrasim 3D Lattice Engine offers. The software must be easy to use, work and affordable.

RAPID +TCT will be held from May 2-4, 2023 in Chicago.
