services, ranging from fused deposit modelling (FDM) to stereolithography (SLA) and selective laser sintering_x000D_
(SLS) for parts used in aerospace and automotive sectors. In these applications, multifunctionality and weight_x000D_
reduction are major design strategies for structural components. Axis Prototypes aims at offering 3D printing_x000D_
services for design and manufacturing of lightweight structural components with high energy absorption_x000D_
capabilities. One of the promising solutions is to exploit the potential of 3D printed lightweight architected_x000D_
cellular solids. However, mechanical properties, durability, and manufacturing cost of architected cellular_x000D_
materials fabricated by 3D printing facility available in the company need to be evaluated, especially for 3D_x000D_
printed components made of carbon fiber-reinforce composites. The research objectives of this research project_x000D_
are to design, simulate, and characterize 3D printed lightweight advanced materials made of polymers and_x000D_
fiber-reinforced composites, to design and characterize 3D printable lightweight architected sandwich panels_x000D_
made of cellular cores, and to optimize 3D printing parameters in order to improve the structural performance_x000D_
of lightweight architected 3D printed materials. The world-wide 3D printing industry is expected to grow from_x000D_
$3B revenue in 2013 to $21B by 2020. As a result, the proposed research on lightweight architected materials_x000D_
will keep Axis Prototypes and Canadian Advanced Manufacturing industry on the vanguard of fabrication of_x000D_
innovative, cost-effective, 3D printable products, while will allow the McGill's team collaborating in this_x000D_
research to apply their expertise on computational mechanics and multiphysical simulation of advanced cellular_x000D_
solids to develop a predictive model for structural properties of additively manufacture architected materials_x000D_
which commonly contain 3D printing defects. The transferred technology will also increase the company's_x000D_
market size by attracting customers in Automotive, Aerospace, and Construction and will contribute to the_x000D_
