Abstract Aluminum alloy lattice structures featuring superior energy absorption, lightweight, and high strength-weight ratio, are achievable using Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology such as selective laser sintering. However, the size of the structure is limited, and the cost is relatively high. As a free-form rapid prototyping technology, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) using electric arc as an energy source has the potential to fabricate medium to large-scale lattice structures with low cost and high process efficiency. This paper presents a strut-based process planning method fo...
