A Review on Factors Affecting the Mechanical Properties of Additively-Manufactured Lattice Structures

Rui Liu, Weihao Chen, Jiaxi Zhao

Abstract

A lattice structure is a typical high-strength lightweight material. In this work, the influence of materials, loading direction, gradient, and hybrid topology on the mechanical characteristics of lattice structures manufactured by additive manufacturing technology and the major factors determining lattice structure fatigue qualities are systematically reviewed. Additionally, studies focusing on the future direction of additively-manufactured lattice structures are presented, and prospective challenges with respect to designing and optimizing lattice structures are put forward. This review offers an advanced understanding of key factors affecting the mechanical properties of additively manufactured lattice structures and provides an indispensable basis for reliable applications of lattice structures.
