Comparison of manufacturing methods for high-performance lattice structures.

Manufacturing Method Volume Rate (cm3hr) Mass Rate (ghr) Scale (m)
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) [44] < 170 < 195 < 1
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) [45] < 60 < 65 > 1
Polyjet (photopolymer) [46] < 80 < 95 < 1
Discrete lattice material manual assembly (this work) ≈ 5000 ≈ 27 > 1
Discrete lattice material robotic assembly [43] ≈ 39821 ≈ 220 < 1
