Lattice structures, produced by repeated unit cells in the particular pattern, offer a high
strength-to-weight ratio. The current advancement in Additive manufacturing (AM) …

Multi-scale structures, as found in nature (eg, bone and bamboo), hold the promise of
achieving superior performance while being intrinsically lightweight, robust, and multi …

In nature, cellular materials exhibit enhanced multifunctionalities driven mainly by their
sophisticated topologies and length scales. These natural systems have inspired the …

Manufacturing-oriented topology optimization has been extensively studied the past two
decades, in particular for the conventional manufacturing methods, for example, machining …

Additive manufacturing (AM) has developed rapidly since its inception in the 1980s. AM is
perceived as an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology and has already …

Porous structures such as trabecular bone are widely seen in nature. These structures are
lightweight and exhibit strong mechanical properties. In this paper, we present a method to …

Lightweight cellular structure generation and topology optimization are common design
methodologies in additive manufacturing. In this work, we present a novel optimization …

The manufacturing sector accounts for a large percentage of global energy use and
greenhouse gas emissions, and there is growing interest in the potential of additive …

Natural porous materials have exceptional properties—for example, light weight,
mechanical resilience, and multi‐functionality. Efforts to imitate their properties in …

Additively manufactured parts are often composed of two sub-structures, a solid shell
forming their exterior and a porous infill occupying the interior. To account for this feature this …
