Metamaterials, also known as lattice‐structured materials, imitate the multifunctionality of natural architects as tailoring their physical properties is associated with manipulating their microstructure. As the recent evolution of additive manufacturing enables the creation of intricate geometries with minimal material wastage, improving the design to manufacturing cycle of lattice structured materials has become one of the trending research areas. Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) and plate lattice materials are renowned for their exceptional mechanical behavior in lightweight applications. Apparently, several types of design optimization strategies are explored to maximize their performance for better biocompatibility and mechanical loading resistance. Some of these strategies include functional gradation and multimorphology hybridization that are comprehensively described in this review. Their benefits and drawbacks are highlighted with a focus on TPMS and plate lattice materials. The review anticipates the utilization of automated design exploration methods (i.e., topology optimization and data‐driven methods) to further enhance the design optimization procedure of lattice structured materials.

Research in the field of ceramic additive manufacturing (AM) has been rapidly accelerating, resulting in hundreds of publications and review articles in recent years. While strides have been made in forming near‐net and complex‐shaped ceramic components, challenges remain that inhibit more widespread implementation. In this perspective, we provide a meta‐analysis of recent review articles and highlight a deficiency in two areas of promising future directions to address remaining challenges. The first is incorporation of fiber reinforcements in printed parts to overcome the challenges of poor mechanical performance of monolithic ceramics. Recent work in the area has shown promise incorporating discrete fiber reinforcements as an easier use case given existing equipment limitations, but continuous fibers are needed to reach full toughness potential. Here, we overview some options and future directions bases on success in polymer composites. Second, artificial intelligence (AI) approaches, including machine learning (ML), are suggested in order to accelerate feedstock development and process optimization. While there has been very limited work to date in utilizing AI/ML techniques for ceramic AM, again inspiration and lessons learned are drawn from the polymer AM community.

“…On the other hand, these structures can achieve multifunctional mechanical objectives by adjusting their pore size or shape. Some tradeoff properties currently studied include the compromise between permeability and elastic properties, 4 the thermo-hydraulic performance of heat-transferring, 5 strength-self-support tradeoff, 6 or energy absorption-stiffness behavior in lattice structures. 7 Given the advantages mentioned above and the possibility of creating complex geometries through AM, designing interior structures for 3D printing opens doors to new opportunities for improved product manufacturing and applications.…”

In addition to solid components, additive manufacturing can shape parts with internal structures or lattices to control specific mechanical properties such as the relation between strength and mass, inertia, and the center of mass. This study shows a strategy to produce scaffolds based on linear mapping, exponential parameterization, and Voronoi's diagram. The approach provides layer by layer, a net of lines denser on a specific layer point that can be defined to control the layer center of mass. This method is compatible with current CAD software and three-dimensional printing procedure stages; thus, it is easily reproducible. Furthermore, different linear mapping rulings and parameterizations were tested to evaluate the method's capabilities for modifying the center of mass of a symmetrical NACA 0015 profile. The numerical and experimental results show that it is possible to accommodate the center of mass between −8 and 18 mm to the NACA's theoretical center of mass.
