Researchers at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) in Tamil Nadu, India, found that changing the cell shape of a resin 3D printed auxetic lattice raised its peak load roughly fourfold and its energy absorption roughly threefold, with material, printer, and test conditions held constant. Published as an Article in Press in Scientific Reports, the study…
