Abstract

Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) shows a great potential for the production of lightweight designed components. The use of lattice structures is one of the most common approaches for lightweight design in ALM because they show a high stiffness and strength combined with a small mass. To reach an optimum design, these structures should not have a periodical build up, but have to be optimized concerning their course and the strut's diameters. For the load dependent adaption of the diameters, the material properties of such filigree structures have to be known well. This geometry-dependent, anisotropic material behavior is described in the following paper.
