Anisogrid carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) lattice shells are one of the most efficient designs to minimize mass in heavily loaded structures for space vehicles. They comprise a regular pattern ...

A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally ...

ATG Innovation Ltd. (Irish subsidiary of ATG Europe) is leading the industrialisation of this technology. Satellite central tube (SCT) structures, which form the structural backbone of satellites, ...

A 3D printed ‘metamaterial’ boasting levels of strength for weight not normally seen in nature or manufacturing could change how we make everything from medical implants to aircraft or rocket parts.

A national shortage of nasopharyngeal testing swabs motivated the additive manufacturing community to demonstrate its ability “to design fast, trade fast and put it into production very fast.” Hardik ...

All those sea sponges that live in deep oceans have a secret: their light lattice-like forms are astonishingly stiff and strong. Inspired by these fascinating creatures, researchers at Australia's ...
