Additive manufacturing methods facilitate the production of complex cellular materials. Commonly, their designs are based on primitive solids using linear struts without curvature continuous joints which results in notch stress. This study presents cellular material units with biomorphic features. The employed method allows us to design lattices with geometrical optimization and varying lattice morphology. The compression test results show that this method allows us to achieve a spectrum of mechanical properties for improving existing 3D printed lattice materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
