© 2020 The Author(s) The stiffness, anisotropy and structural deformation of three gyroid-based lattices was investigated, with particular focus on a newly proposed honeycomb gyroid. This honeycomb is based on a modified triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) equation with reduced periodicity. Using the numerical homogenisation method, the anisotropy of the gyroid lattice types was found to differ greatly, as was the dependence of this anisotropy on the volume fraction. From compression testing of laser sintered polyamide PA2200 specimens, the honeycomb gyroid was found to possess extremely high anisotropy, with Emax*/Emin*, the ratio of the highest to the lowest direction-dependent modulus, ∼250 at low volume fraction. The stiffness and anisotropy of the honeycomb gyroid are compared to equivalent results from the square honeycomb, the closest analogue in the set of conventional honeycomb types. The honeycomb gyroid lattice exhibited novel deformation and post-yield stiffening under in-plane loading; it underwent reorientation into a second, stiffer geometry following plastic bending and contact of its cell walls. The unique deformation behaviour and extremely high anisotropy of the honeycomb gyroid provide strong motivation for further investigations into this new family of reduced periodicity TPMS-based honeycombs.
