| Abstract Scope |
Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) continually seeks to leverage the flexibility inherent in additive manufacturing, primarily through weight reduction. One recent advancement in this field is the introduction of multi-lattice structures, which facilitate the creation of complex structures that achieve exceptional performance through the use of multiple lattice topologies. While various methodologies have been proposed for designing multi-lattice structures, there remains a lack of clarity on how to effectively compare these methods. In this work, we investigate the key design factors necessary for evaluating multi-lattice structure design methodologies. Our analysis reveals three recurring design criteria across existing literature: 1) lattice connectivity, 2) lattice diversity, and 3) physics-based interpolation of lattices. These criteria are discussed within the context of extant research on multi-lattice structure design. |
