The author seems to confuse what an alloy is with the shape of a metal part. The alloy is the chemical composition, the shape is just the shape. The basis of comparison is likewise flawed. It seems like they compare their shape printed in titanium to a solid block of magnesium, but they should really compare it to the best known titanium lattice as that would show how much of an improvement their design is. For all we know their design is worse than the existing state of the art
- zokier 3y agoThe article has whole section called "2.3 Comparison with Existing Metal Lattices"
- goodSteveramos 3y agoYes, not the article but I found that section in the paper and it does appear to be better than existing techniques. I wish the author of the paper could have told us that lol. Thankfully the paper is not paywalled
