Designing and Developing Bio-Lattice Structures Using 3D Printing with ABS Carbon Fiber Inspired by Foxtail Palm Seed Fiber
摘要
The goal of this article is to design and develop bio-lattice structures utilizing 3D printing technology with ABS carbon fiber and nTopology software, which are inspired by the fibrous pattern of foxtail palm seed fiber. The aim is to replicate the complex structure of foxtail palm seeds while maximizing biocompatibility and mechanical robustness. ABS carbon fiber will be incorporated into the lattice structures using cutting-edge manufacturing processes to increase their durability. This work combines bio-inspired design with cutting-edge materials and testing methods to advance bio-mimetic structures in biomechanics and sustainable materials development. The analytical examination of lattice structures, namely Iso-Truss and Fluorite lattice structures entailed assessing crucial characteristics such as displacement, tension, and strain. The results showed that the Iso-Truss lattice structure had a maximum displacement of 1.45e-04 and a maximum stress of 7.49e + 06, whereas the Fluorite lattice structure had a maximum displacement of 1.54e-04 and a maximum stress of 4.83e + 06. These findings offer useful knowledge about the mechanical behaviour and performance of the lattice structures, emphasizing their strengths and peculiarities when subjected to various loading circumstances.
