Manufacturing and enhanced performance of metallic lattice structures by additive manufacturing
Author(s): Lai-Chang Zhang
Lattice structures (Periodic cellular materials) are a type of architectures constructed by an array of spatial periodic unit cells with edges and faces. Although lattice structures exhibit a range of superior properties, such as low elastic modulus, high specific stiffness and strength, large surface area, a large number of internal pores, and relatively low-stress level, the manufacturing by traditional technologies and the optimization of properties of lattice structured are limited because of poor control over the morphological characteristics of the pore network. The recent advances in metal additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have enlarged the design and manufacturing possibilities for lattice structures, which provides lattice structures with promising solutions for a ... view more»
