The design freedom enabled by AM processes has allowed us to build structures with complex internal lattice structures to enhance part performance. While solutions exist for designing and manufacturing cellular structures, there are no reliable ways to predict their behavior that account for both the geometric and process complexity of these structures. In this work, we first show how the use of published values of elastic modulus for ULTEM-9085 honeycomb structures in FE simulation results in 40- 60% error in the predicted elastic response. We then develop a methodology that combines experimental, analytical and numerical techniques to predict elastic response within a 5% error. We believe our methodology is extendable to other processes, materials and geometries and discuss future work in this regard.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7614\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7614\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Contours-e1475018390966.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Contours-e1475018390966.jpg\" height=\"260\" width=\"550\" class=\"wp-image-7614 size-full sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Figure\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7614\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Fig 1.<\/strong> Honeycomb tensile test behavior varying as a function of manufacturing parameters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6620\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6620\" style=\"width: 908px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ASU-team.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ASU-team.jpg\" height=\"681\" width=\"908\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6620 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"The ASU Capstone team (left to right): Drew Gibson, Jacob Gerbasi, John Reeher, Matthew Finfrock, Deep Patel and Joseph Van Soest.\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Fig 2.<\/strong> The ASU Capstone team (left to right): Drew Gibson, Jacob Gerbasi, John Reeher, Matthew Finfrock, Deep Patel and Joseph Van Soest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our work on \u00a03D printed honeycomb\u00a0modeling that started as a Capstone project with students from ASU in September 2015 (described [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":29190,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[371],"tags":[222,515,478,511,1369,1197,503,520],"post-podcast":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29435"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29435"},{"taxonomy":"post-podcast","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post-podcast?post=29435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
