3D-printed titanium lattice is 50% stronger than WE54 aerospace alloy

A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally found in these complex shapes.

This innovative approach has resulted in a titanium lattice that is 50% stronger than the WE54 aerospace alloy. This breakthrough could have significant implications for industries such as aerospace and automotive, where lightweight yet strong materials are crucial for performance and efficiency.
