A voxel-based method of constructing and skinning conformal and functionally graded lattice structures suitable for additive manufacturing (2016)
Journal Article
Aremu, A., Brennan-Craddock, J., Panesar, A., Ashcroft, I., Hague, R. J., Wildman, R. D., & Tuck, C. (in press). A voxel-based method of constructing and skinning conformal and functionally graded lattice structures suitable for additive manufacturing. Additive Manufacturing, 13, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2016.10.006

Additive Manufacturing (AM) enables the production of geometrically complex parts that are difficult to manufacture by other means. However, conventional CAD systems are limited in the representation of such parts. This issue is exacerbated when latt...

Metal components with applications across a range of industrial sectors can be manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM). A particular strength of SLM is its ability to manufacture components incorporating periodic lattice structures not realisab...

An investigation into reinforced and functionally graded lattice structures (2016)
Journal Article
Maskery, I., Hussey, A., Panesar, A., Aremu, A., Tuck, C., Ashcroft, I., & Hague, R. J. (in press). An investigation into reinforced and functionally graded lattice structures. Journal of Cellular Plastics, https://doi.org/10.1177/0021955X16639035

Lattice structures are regarded as excellent candidates for use in lightweight energy absorbing applications, such as crash protection. In this paper we investigate the crushing behaviour, mechanical properties and energy absorption of lattices made...
