Abstract Scope |
Bioinspired honeycomb structures are the light weighted while strong structural objects. In this work, multiple ABS honeycomb patterns and structures were designed, and 3D printed. The designs consisted of different wall thicknesses, braces around the edge of the structure, or having a plate at the top or bottom for support. Additionally, the mechanical properties of the fabricated honeycomb structures were simulated using a finite element software package. The correlation between strength and weight was determined. With this design, one can now determine the amount of material that is needed based on how much load the structure will need to withstand. This leads to a major improvement in efficiency for the industry. |
