Woven cellular metals made of wires
A team of researchers at the TU Dresden has succeeded in producing three-dimensional cellular metals from wires with the help of weaving technology. The patented structure enables the production of metallic lightweight materials with a wide range of properties and offers new possibilities for lightweight metal construction.
