Those isotex panels are crazy - milled out of the solid. Why not make the lattice and join it to a sheet?
Nice to see the technology is pretty traditional.
How would you join it? Glue might break and welds damage/change the microstructure of the material. Plus, the only way I can see to make the lattice without the skin is to mill it from slightly thinner solid. I'm sure other methods will have been considered, casting perhaps, and this was deemed best.Those isotex panels are crazy - milled out of the solid. Why not make the lattice and join it to a sheet?
