Adient has been granted a patent for a body-supporting component featuring a main body with a 3D lattice structure. This design incorporates deflection properties and is made from a flexible material, ...

Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...

Software designed lattices provide stiffness and light weight when they’re not supposed to. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have designed a new class of 3D-printed lattice ...

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 ...

Graphene is the most prominent member of the 2D materials family: just a single atom in thickness, it is a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice. This novel nanomaterial is ...
