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 ...

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.

Engineers used a process in which a laser instantly flashes metal powder into a fused solid. Using a common titanium alloy, engineers manufactured latticelike structures composed of hollow struts—each ...

Metal 3D printing has long promised aerospace-grade parts at desktop scale, but titanium has stubbornly resisted that vision. A new approach called cold metal fusion is changing that equation, turning ...

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 ...

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