  "id": "MLC-T-ADM-000197",
  "term": "Lattice",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A periodic, open-celled structure composed of interconnected struts or plates, designed to reduce material usage while maintaining specific mechanical properties. In additive manufacturing, complex lattice structures can be precisely fabricated to achieve lightweight parts with high strength-to-weight ratios or tailored energy absorption characteristics. These structures are defined by parameters such as unit cell type, strut diameter, and relative density.",
