Cellular materials, metallic bodies with gaseous voids, are a promising class of materials that offer
high strength accompanied by a relatively low mass. In this paper, the authors investigate the use of ThreeDimensional Printing (3DP) to manufacture metallic cellular materials by selectively printing binder into a
bed of metal oxide ceramic powder. The resulting green part undergoes a thermal chemical post-process in
order to convert it to metal. As a result of their investigation, the authors are able to create cellular
materials made of maraging steel that feature wall sizes as small as 400 µm and angled trusses and channels
that are 1 mm in diameter.Mechanical Engineerin
