1. A method for evaluating a lattice structure, the method comprising:
receiving a set of computed tomography data including a volumetric representation of the lattice structure;
applying a filter to the set of computed tomography data to identify a plurality of nodes within the lattice structure;
applying a three-dimensional path traversal from a node of the plurality of nodes to identify a plurality of struts within the lattice structure from the set of computed tomography data;
comparing each strut of the plurality of struts from the set of computed tomography data to a respective strut of a plurality of struts identified within a predefined mesh for the lattice structure to identify one or more defective struts;
extracting one or more slices from the set of computed tomography data based at least in part on the three-dimensional path traversal;
comparing an actual cross-section of the one or more extracted slices to a nominal cross-section from the predefined mesh to determine one or more inconsistencies between the lattice structure and the predefined mesh; and
identifying one or more defects in the lattice structure based on the one or more inconsistencies and the one or more defective struts.
