Zusammenfassung:A self-supporting lattice structure is provided with high strength-to-weight ratios. In an aspect, an additively manufactured structure is provided that includes a self-supporting lattice structure formed by a plurality of unit cells. Moreover, each unit cell includes a symmetrical frame with voids or cutouts extending through each of the side surfaces of the symmetrical frame to define a negative space therein. The negative space substantially reduces the density and overall weight of the self-supporting lattice structure.
