Research on Producing Complex Metal Parts with Lattice Structure by Selective Laser Melting

Abstract:

This study evaluates the manufacturability and performances of periodic cellular lattice structures designed by repeating a cubic unit cell and produced by SLM using titanium powder. The effects of unit cell size on the manufacturability, density, compression and bending properties of the manufactured cellular lattice structures were investigated. Lattice structures manufactured with various unit cell sizes ranging from 0.5 to 1.2 mm could be produced free of defects by the SLM process, with a novel type of supports. By the increasing of the cell size, a decrease of the applied load together with an enhancement of the flexure extension were observed. Specimens with a cell size higher than 1 mm manifested an excellent flexibility by flexure tests.
