Abstract
There is provided a computer implemented method of manufacturing a truss of a three dimensional (3D) object representation, comprising: receiving a definition of the 3D object representation, arranging within an interior space of the 3D object representation, a plurality of instances of a sphere having a common radius to create a packed sphere arrangement, computing nodes of a truss for the 3D object representation, each respective node positioned at a center of each respective instance of each sphere of the packed sphere arrangement, computing beams of the truss by connecting adjacent nodes with respective beams, and providing code instructions for execution by a manufacturing device controller of a manufacturing device for manufacturing the truss.
