How i can make this kind of "texture"?

(OP)
Hi everyone,

I'm designing a part for a 3d printer that require a special kind of texture (not sure if "texture" is the right word here). Basicaly, it consist on a grid framework (see image below). Are there any special tool i can use? Or do i have to draw each hole?



Ty for your help

RE: How i can make this kind of "texture"?

You could try doing several different patterns.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

RE: How i can make this kind of "texture"?

There are a few aftermarket programs that may do what you are trying to do but they aren't cheap and I can't guarantee it will be much easier than just cutting every hole.
