3D‐Printed Architected Material for the Generation of Foam‐Based Protective Equipment
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates 3D‐printed architected structures as alternatives to traditional foams in protective gear. It focuses on customizing impact strength and damping through design and manufacturing integration. Testing shows these structures outperform conventional foams, offering enhanced customizability, lower weight, and tunable performance ...
