Abstract

The application of Additive Manufacturing (AM) can be observed in a wide range of sectors, including biomedical, oil and gas, aerospace, energy, automotive and others. The advance of the use the AM it is necessary to study the mechanical properties of the products obtained, exploring the freedom of the forms that can be produced. Minimal periodic surfaces provide the construction of structures with different mechanical properties and AM has the advantage of exploiting this type of construction on the macro scale. Thus, this project seeks to contribute to analyze the effect of the use of minimal and periodic surfaces on the properties of the final product obtained by AM. The main research variable will be the compressive strength of the specimens.
