Geometrical Scaling Effects in the Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) Lattice Structures

Geometrical Scaling Effects in the Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) Lattice Structures

This paper investigates size effects on the mechanical response of additively manufactured lattice structures based on a commercially available polylactic acid (PLA) polymer. Initial attention is focused on investigating geometrical effects in the mechanical properties of simple beams and cubes. Fol...
