Abstract

Examples of modifiable structures are described herein. In some examples, a structure includes a first lattice. In some examples, the first lattice provides a property of the structure. In some examples, the structure includes a modifiable second lattice. In some examples, the modifiable second lattice may adjust the property of the structure.

Claims (25)

1 . A structure, comprising:

a first lattice that provides a property of the structure; and

a modifiable second lattice to adjust the property of the structure.

2 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the modifiable second lattice is to adjust the property of the structure after manufacturing.

3 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the modifiable second lattice is joinable with the first lattice and separable from the first lattice.

4 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the modifiable second lattice is fastened to the first lattice with a fastener.

5 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the modifiable second lattice comprises a column, and wherein the first lattice comprises a node having an opening to receive the column of the modifiable second lattice to adjust the property of the structure.

6 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the modifiable second lattice is intermeshed with the first lattice.

7 . The structure of claim 5 , wherein the first lattice and the modifiable second lattice are manufactured concurrently via three-dimensional (3D) printing.

8 . The structure of claim 1 , further comprising a knob to actuate the modifiable second lattice.

9 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the property is stiffness.

10 . An apparatus, comprising:

a memory;

a processor in electronic communication with the memory, wherein the processor is to:

control a printhead to print a first three-dimensional (3D) lattice; and

control the printhead to print a second 3D lattice, wherein the second 3D lattice interoperates with the first 3D lattice to modify a property of a structure that includes the first 3D lattice.

11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first 3D lattice and the second 3D lattice are printed concurrently.

12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein first 3D lattice and the second 3D lattice are intermeshed.

13 . A framework, comprising:

a lattice providing a first mechanical property to the framework; and

an adjustable substructure to modify the first mechanical property to a second mechanical property in the framework.

14 . The framework of claim 13 , wherein the framework is included in an insole.

15 . The framework of claim 13 , further comprising:

a column; and

a knob coupled to the adjustable substructure, wherein the knob is moveable along the column to adjust the first mechanical property to the second mechanical property in the framework.
