Abstract Scope |
Plate lattice structures are highly desirable in various industries due to their lightweight and high-strength characteristics. The design of plate lattice structures for additive manufacturing requires careful consideration of the material properties and desired geometric configurations for the intended application. This study introduces multi-material plate lattice structures with at least one material composed of carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite. A fused filament fabrication technique was used to fabricate the unit cell of the plate lattice with filament material such as polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) and carbon fiber-reinforced polyethylene terephthalate. Different plate lattice compositions were obtained by mixing the elementary structures, i.e., simple cubic (SC), body-centered cubic (BCC), and face-centered cubic (FCC). The findings from this research illuminate the potential for creating components that are both lightweight and robust, suitable for high-performance applications. |
