Towards multi-functional behavior of metal lattice structures produced by hybrid laser based additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques Ghent University
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has significantly increased the potential of metal lattice structures (MLS). For structural applications, first steps are being made to investigate the use of AM-MLS for weight reduction, and for improving and tuning mechanical characteristics such as stiffness, energy absorption, impact resistance, damping or fatigue performance. Multi-functional MLS designed to perform well in several of these areas are at ...
