Functionally graded and multi-morphology sheet TPMS lattices: Design, manufacturing, and mechanical properties.

TL;DR: Relative density grading, cell size grading, and multi-morphology (lattice type grading) are mechanically investigated for sheet-based lattices with topologies based on triply periodic minimal surfaces, and FE analysis revealed that sheet-networks multi- morphology lattices exhibit higher elastic properties as compared to solid-network multi- Morphology lattice.

Compression–compression fatigue behaviour of gyroid-type triply periodic minimal surface porous structures fabricated by selective laser melting

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the compression-compression fatigue behavior and the underlying fatigue mechanism of Gyroid cellular structures (GCS), a typical TPMS porous structure, and found that the fatigue ratio of GCS reaches 0.35 for as-built samples and can be raised to 0.45 after sandblasting treatment.

Cellular Ti-6Al-4V structures with interconnected macro porosity for bone implants fabricated by selective electron beam melting.

TL;DR: Micro computer tomography analysis demonstrated the capability to fabricate three-dimensional structures with an interconnected porosity and pore sizes suitable for tissue ingrowth and vascularization and a chemical surface modification is expected to enhance the fixation of the implant in the surrounding bone as well as to improve its long-term stability.

Evaluations of cellular lattice structures manufactured using selective laser melting

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of unit cell size on the manufacturability, density and compression properties of the manufactured cellular lattice structures were investigated, and it was shown that the lattice structure made by selective laser melting has a good geometric agreement with the original computer-aided design (CAD) models, but many partially melted metal particles are bonded to strut surfaces.

Advanced lightweight 316L stainless steel cellular lattice structures fabricated via selective laser melting

TL;DR: In this paper, a unique cell type called gyroid is designed to construct periodic lattice structures and utilize its curved cell surface as a self-supported feature which avoids the building of support structures and reduces material waste and production time.
