Additively Manufactured Polymer And Metal Lattice Structures With Eulerian Path, Adeeb Ibne Alam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Lattice structure manufacturing with polymers and metals can benefit from the use of Eulerian paths. In this research, two types of lattice fabrication methods are studied where the Eulerian path can be applicable. Polymer lattice is improved by using a new assembly design, while a new way of metal lattice fabrication is discussed.

For the fused filament fabrication process, a new interlocking design and assemble-based lattice structure building approach is investigated by increasing continuity in layers and avoiding support structures. To minimize contour plurality, Eulerian paths between the edges were enforced. Two configurations in the form of cubic and octet …
