The importance of lightweight structures in many fields engineering is well known since long time. innovations technological processes based on material addiction allow pushing the design towards challenging geometries and associated structural properties. Engineered materials like lattice can be theoretically used to modify local properties strength with minimization mass components; practice, several issues are still solved stabilization additive achieving repeatable able pass qualification procedures. At this purpose, dedicated experimental methods those reported paper needed.
