Sumario:The present research is developed into the realm of industrial design engineering and additive manufacturing by introducing a parametric design model and adaptive mechanical analysis for a new lattice structure, with a focus on 3D additive manufacturing of complex parts. Focusing on the land-scape of complex parts additive manufacturing, this research proposes geometric parameterization, mechanical adaptive sizing, and numerical validation of a novel lattice structure to optimize the final printed part volume and mass, as well as its structural rigidity. The topology of the lattice structures exhibited pyramidal geometry. Complete parameterization of the lattice structure ensures that the known geometric parameters adjust to defined restrictions, enabling dynamic adaptability based on its load states and boundary conditions, thereby enhancing its mechanical performance. The core methodology integrates analytical automation with mechanical analysis by employing a model based in two-dimensional beam elements. The dimensioning of the lattice structure is analyzed using rigidity models of its sub-elements, providing an evaluation of its global structural behavior after applying the superposition principle. Numerical validation was performed to validate the proposed analytical model. This step ensures that the analytical model defined for dimensioning the lattice structure adjusts to its real mechanical behavior and allows its validation. The present manuscript aims to advance additive manufacturing methodologies by offering a systematic and adaptive approach to lattice structure design. Parametric and adaptive techniques foster new industrial design engineering methods, enabling the dynamic tailoring of lattice structures to meet their mechanical demands and enhance their overall efficiency and performance.
