RMIT Researchers Demonstrate Floating Titanium Lattice

1 min read

Australian researchers demonstrated a 3D-printed titanium lattice that can remain afloat even after damage.

What is new?

RMIT researchers investigated a lightweight titanium lattice geometry intended to retain buoyancy even after damage. The result may address a limitation of porous metal structures that sink once water penetrates them. This is a research demonstration, not a commercially qualified product.

3DPS perspective

Real-world suitability should be evaluated against production, cost and reliability data as these become available.
