Abstract
Additive manufacturing has opened doors to many new technological developments that could not be realised with traditional manufacturing methods. One of these research areas includes the development and utilisation of Cellular Structures in everyday objects. The application of cellular structures theoretically should decrease the required amount of material for production at the cost of overall rigidity and resistance to stresses. This article presents a validation of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations of Cellular Structures with empirical data obtained from compression tests. Parametrised cells with two different materials are evaluated through FEA simulations against selective laser sintered specimens. The cellular structure are modelled with implicit modelling method. ฉ 2016 The Authors.
