Abstract: In at least one embodiment there is an implant for a spine comprising a frame having at least one face having a plurality of ribs. Inside of the frame there is a lattice. In addition, there is at least one opening in the frame exposing said lattice, wherein said lattice extends beyond said frame to form greater interactions with adjacent bone structure. In addition there can also be a process for producing an implant comprising: determining a size of an implant frame; determining a size of an implant lattice; determining an orientation of the implant in a body; determining a first orientation of a lattice inside of the frame; graphically forming the implant; determining the opacity of the lattice inside of the frame from a first viewpoint; reorienting the lattice inside of the frame; determining the opacity of the lattice at a second orientation; determining which orientation results in lower opacity; and selecting the lattice orientation at a lower opacity.
