    Area of Science:

    • Additive Manufacturing
    • Materials Science
    • Mechanical Engineering

    Background:

    • Light-weight infill structures are crucial for reducing material consumption in additive manufacturing.
    • Existing infill designs often exhibit variable structural performance and lack self-supporting capabilities.
    • Current 3D printing workflows can be time-consuming due to the separate slicing process.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel light-weight infill structure with enhanced structural performance and self-supporting properties.
    • To integrate infill structure generation directly with machine code (G-code) for streamlined 3D printing.
    • To investigate the relationship between structural stiffness and infill parameters for user accessibility.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a layer-based infill structure with continuous transformation between triangular and hexagonal geometries.
    • Design of adjacent layers for self-supporting capabilities across various 3D printing technologies.
    • Direct generation of machine code (G-code) during infill construction, bypassing traditional slicing.
    • Conducting structural simulations and physical experiments to validate performance.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed infill structure demonstrates comparable structural performance under diverse loading conditions.
    • The geometries are designed to be self-supporting, improving printability and reducing support material needs.
    • Direct G-code generation significantly reduces the overall 3D printing workflow time.
    • Analysis provides insights into controlling structural stiffness via infill parameters.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel infill structure offers a promising solution for efficient and high-performance additive manufacturing.
    • Integration of infill design with G-code generation streamlines the 3D printing process.
    • The findings facilitate easier adoption by non-expert users through parameter-stiffness relationship insights.
