Cover Story: Metal lattice structures produced by means of additive techniques are attracting increasing attention due to their high structural efficiency. However, the current manufacturing processes are still not able to provide defect-free components; therefore, in order to design optimal and reliable configurations, certain aspects must be considered. The present work describes a numerical–experimental procedure to estimate the global loss in stiffness and strength of metal lattice structures due to the manufacturing process used (i.e., EBM). The models were validated with respect to experimental three-point bending tests and by considering two kinds of specimen with octet-truss unit cells and optional outer skins. View this paper
