It was developed at FATHOM by Aaron Porterfield as an alternative to commercially available software for lattice design. The obvious advantage is the ability to generate lattice structures within Rhino’s design environment without exporting to third-party software, but the extended advantages include the modularity and ability to combine other powerful tools available for Grasshopper.
The decision to release it as open source was not only to share it with the community but to further the development through its users. Each tool is a cluster that can be opened and modified at will, in the spirit of open source. The community will continue to develop and contribute through the use of the Grasshopper forums and GitHub.
