New super cubic lattice discovery is nearly 380% stiffer without adding material.
Likly not coming to you infill pattern library anytime soon, but UCL researchers have 3D printed and compression-tested a “triply twinned” lattice that is up to 380% stiffer and 279% stronger than a conventional cubic lattice at similar material density. It's a potentially useful upgrade for lightweight aerospace, automotive, robotic, implant, and heat-exchanger parts where every gram has to earn its keep.
