Abstract
Conventional die casting tools are often oversized with regard to their mechanical stability, which results in increased energy requirements for kinematic processes and tool temperature control systems. In addition, these die casting tools often lack flexibility and modularity. One way to counter these disadvantages are lightweight structures, which can be built up in a modular manner depending on the application. Due to their larger cross-section compared to conventional lattice structures, plate lattice structures (PLS) offer higher mechanical load-bearing capacity. The aim of this work is to investigate such PLS with regard to their manufacturability in an additive manufacturing process. The specimens made from 1.4545 are first examined for dimensional accuracy and defects using computed tomography. Subsequently, an elastic model of these structures is numerically generated and calculated to obtain the structural stiffnesses. With this knowledge, a simplified numerical feasibility study was carried out.
