Additive Manufacture of 3D Auxetic Structures by Laser Powder Bed Fusion—Design Influence on Manufacturing Accuracy and Mechanical Properties

The mechanical response of steel auxetic structures manufactured using laser-powder bed fusion was explored. The level of control exerted by the key design parameters of vertical strut length (H), re-entrant strut length (L), strut thickness (t) and re-entrant angle (ϴ) on the mechanical response wa...
