Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED STRUCTURES WITH AUGMENTED ENERGY ABSORPTION PROPERTIES
Apparatus and methods for additively manufactured structures with augmented energy absorption properties are presented herein. Three dimensional (3D) additive manufacturing structures may be constructed with spatially dependent features to create crash components. When used in the construction of a transport vehicle, the crash components with spatially dependent additively manufactured features may enhance and augment crash energy absorption. This in turn absorbs and re-distributes more crash energy away from the vehicle's occupant(s), thereby improving the occupants' safety.
