Mesoscopic lightweight construction with hexagonal honeycombs

• Design of lattice and honeycomb structures for additive manufacturing under the bionic approach of force-optimized adaptation
• Increased competitiveness through constructions based on lightweight construction principles
• Mass savings and reduction of energy consumption during operation
• Ecological and economical handling of raw materials
• High-strength lightweight construction with honeycomb structure due to the highest compressive load on the honeycomb with a minimum core weight
• Use in sandwich structures
• Add-on for Siemens NX to create free-form surfaces
