Certain model types are more suited for a particular pattern, for exam-
ple organic versus mechanical types. Figure 2.30 shows how a honeycomb
ll may suit this mechanical part better because each hexagon bonds with
the same underlying pattern each layer, forming a strong vertical structure.

Most models require only a low density inll, as providing more than,
say, 50% will produce a very tightly packed model which uses more material
than required. For this reason a common range of patterns is between 10%
and 30%, however the requirements of the model will determine which
density is best. Figure 2.31 shows how the patterns change as the density
increases.
