This invention discloses a method and system for dynamic forming of adaptive lattice structures driven in real time by biometrics. The method involves acquiring a standard model, constructing three-dimensional parametric coordinates, and defining any point in the printing space as a voxel. Biometric data is then acquired and a 2D support force adjustment field is calculated. The 2D support force adjustment field is converted into a 2D lattice rod diameter offset field, which is then converted into a 3D lattice rod diameter offset field. The 2D lattice rod diameter offset field corresponding to the projected cross-section during printing is then calculated. Dynamic deformation is then performed on each height image based on the 2D lattice rod diameter offset field to obtain the actual projected cross-section. By integrating biomechanical sensor data with a dynamic digital light processing (DLP) engine, the adaptive lattice structure achieves in-situ control and computational manufacturing integration. This method is suitable for the rapid manufacturing of ergonomically adapted products such as medical orthopedic devices, customized sports equipment, and smart wearable devices.
