IMPACT ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Additive manufacturing is catalyzing a new class of volumetrically varying lattice structures in which the dynamic mechanical response can be tailored for a specific application. Simultaneously, a diversity of materials is now available as feedstock including elastomers, which provide high viscoelasticity and increased durability. The combined benefits of complex lattices coupled with elastomers is particularly appealing for anatomy-specific wearable applications such as in athletic or safety equipment. In this study, Siemens’ DARPA TRADES-funded design and geometry-generation software, Mithril, was leveraged to design vertically-graded and uniform lattices, the configurations of which offer varying degrees of stiffness. The designed lattices were fabricated in two elastomers using different additive manufacturing processes: (a) vat photopolymerization (with compliant SIL30 elastomer from Carbon) and (b) thermoplastic material extrusion (with Ultimaker™ TPU filament providing increased stiffness). Both materials provided unique benefits with the SIL30 material offering compliance suitable for lower energy impacts and the Ultimaker™ TPU offering improved protection against higher impact energies. Moreover, a hybrid lattice combination of both materials was evaluated and demonstrated the simultaneous benefits of each, with good performance across a wider range of impact energies. This study explores the design, material, and process space for manufacturing a new class of comfortable, energy-absorbing protective equipment to protect athletes, consumers, soldiers, first responders, and packaged goods.
