In this course, we will:

* Get to know Lattices, their properties, and how to apply them to designs.
* Understand how to work with the **Periodic Lattice**, including defining **Unit Cells** and the **Cell Map** of a lattice structure
* Explore the various ways of latticing to create and manipulate custom or conformal structures, surface textures, and ribbings
