Additive Manufacturing of Architected Metallic Materials
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, facilitates the creation of three-dimensional structures composed of metals and their alloys. Leveraging the layer-by-layer approach inherent to AM techniques, intricate cellular architectures can be produced, bearing similarities to naturally occurring structures. By combining the free-form capabilities of AM with simultaneous multi-material printing, one can fabricate architected materials with customized functionalities and mechanical properties. These advanced metallic materials have extensive applications in high-value industries such as healthcare and mobility. In this Topic, we aim to showcase the latest research on the design, fabrication, and applications of 3D-printed architected metallic materials. This collection will also cover advances in material characterization, post-processing, computational modeling (including artificial intelligence, topology optimization, and failure analysis), and applications in biomedical engineering (such as orthopedic implants). We invite contributions from the scientific community exploring the frontiers of 3D-printed architected metallic materials, their underlying principles, and the myriad applications they enable.
