On the effect of geometrical imperfections and defects on the fatigue strength of cellular lattice structures additively manufactured via Selective Laser Melting

•Geometrical defects are observed in Selective Laser Melting lattice structures.•Computed tomography can accurately measure the geometrical defects.•The fatigue resistance of lattice structures is decreased by geometrical defects.•The elastic modulus is strongly affected by geometrical defects.•The...
