Now through the end of September, the Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance review article "A Review on Factors Affecting the Mechanical Properties of Additively-Manufactured Lattice Structures" by Rui Liu, Weihao Chen, and Jiaxi Zhao is free access for you to download and read. 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.
To read the article, please visit here now through September 30th.
