Abstract
The performance of polyamide lattices with electro-depositied metal is evaluated. This is achieved by irreversable compaction of the structures involved in the investigation. The versatility of additive manufacturing is utilised in order to fabricate the lattices. It is demonstrated that metal coating of polymer lattices could significantly improve their compression properties. This methodology could provide new opportunities in terms of light weight energy absorbing structures in a wide variety of applications.
