Abstract:In addition to solid components, additive manufacturing can shape parts with internal structures or lattices to control specific mechanical properties such as the relation between strength and mass, inertia, and the center of mass. This study shows a strategy to produce scaffolds based on linear mapping, exponential parameterization, and Voronoi's diagram. The approach provides layer by layer, a net of lines denser on a specific layer point that can be defined to control the layer center of mass. This method i… Show more
