Structural Effects on 3D-Printed Radar Materials

Lindqvist, Bradley January 2024 (has links)
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D-printing, has gained widespread adoption across various industries owing to advancements in manufacturing methods and printers. This technology offers users creative freedom, diverse manufacturing methods, and a wide range of material options. Consequently, many industries, including defense, are keen on integrating AM into their production processes. In the defense sector, AM facilitates rapid prototyping and the efficient blending of different materials, unlocking new possibilities that conventional methods cannot achieve. The ability to fabricate intricate geometries is another pivotal aspect driving the preference for AM. Thus, this study aims to explore the potential of lattice structures to impart unique material properties applicable in defense applications. Specifically, the investigation focuses on understanding the impact of discharge directions and lattice structures on radar properties for Material X. Analysis revealed that while discharge direction exhibited minimal influence on radar properties, different lattice structures could modify these properties by altering parameters such as unit cell size and panel thickness.
