These 20 x 20 x 20 mm aluminium blocks are prototypes for the next generation of 3D-printed lattice structures some of which are already used in the automotive and aerospace industries. Made using a process called 'selective laser melting' these structures are strong and stiff but light. That's good for a lot of things: fuel efficiency for example increases when vehicle parts are lighter. It's the hollow patterns that make them so effective. "You can align patterns to create strength in…

Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged over the past four decades as a cost-effective, on-demand modality for fabrication of geometrically complex objects. The ability to design and print virtually any object shape using a diverse array of materials, such as metals, polymers, ceramics and bioinks, has allowed for the adoption of this technology for biomedical applications in both research and clinical settings. Current advancements in tissue engineering and regeneration, therapeutic…
