Lattice structures are networks of interconnected nodes arranged in repeating or gradually varying patterns called cells.

A national shortage of nasopharyngeal testing swabs motivated the additive manufacturing community to demonstrate its ability “to design fast, trade fast and put it into production very fast.” Hardik ...

Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...

A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally ...

Adient has been granted a patent for a body-supporting component featuring a main body with a 3D lattice structure. This design incorporates deflection properties and is made from a flexible material, ...

Additively manufactured (AM) three-dimensional lattice structures from titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V may be applied in medical devices like bone implants for better osseointegration. Sintered from metal ...

When 3D printing was first introduced in 1985, it marked a major turning point for the manufacturing industry. In addition to ...

A cheetah’s powerful sprint, a snake’s lithe slither, or a human’s deft grasp: each is made possible by the seamless interplay between soft and rigid tissues. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones ...

A 3D printed ‘metamaterial’ boasting levels of strength for weight not normally seen in nature or manufacturing could change how we make everything from medical implants to aircraft or rocket parts.
