Abstract
This novel work presents the investigation of functionally graded lattice structures (FGLS) based on polylactic acid (PLA) and wood-reinforced PLA (WPLA) composite. The synergistic effect of a multi-material system and hybridization of two different primitive lattices (Gyroid and Schwarz primitive (SP)) on compressive strength, specific energy absorption (SEA) and stiffness was studied. The findings of the study revealed that the hybrid FGLS fabricated combining the Gyroid lattice of PLA and SP lattice of WPLA (PLA-G/WPLA-SP) exhibits the highest values of stiffness, SEA, and compressive strength.
