"Cellular structures are lightweight structures with excellent mechanical, thermal, and acoustic properties. They offer promise in a series of applications, including lightweight applications, sandwich cores, mechanical damping, acoustic absorption, strain isolation, and thermal management. The manufacturing of these complex cellular structures is expensive and time-consuming, which hinders the adoption of these structures in many industries. Advancement in manufacturing technologies, such as additive manufacturing (AM), however, have changed this. AM allows for the rapid and less expensive manufacturing of complex cellular structures. This work aimed to investigate the performance of additively manufactured cellular structures for lightweight and sandwich core applications. In …
