A method, and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums, for designing and manufacturing a part. A method includes receiving part data for a part to be manufactured. The method includes creating a set of balls and beams in a computer-aided design (CAD) model, in a patterning structure and based on the part data. The method includes constructing a steady lattice structure in the CAD model. The method includes displaying the CAD model including the steady lattice structure.
