Experiments on miniature 3D printed lightweight lattice structures shed light on structural weaknesses

Researchers at LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) have successfully tested theoretical models for predicting the behaviour of miniaturized lattice structures under pressure. 3D printing was used to make small-scale lattices on which various tests were carried out. The results of the tests validated the researchers’ theoretical modelling of the structures’ failure behaviour, which is relevant […]
