3D metallic glass cellular structures

A scalable fabrication method for 3DBMG structures by thermoplastic forming and parallel joining is introduced. Experimental characterization and theoretical analysis of 3D BMGs' mechanical behaviors reveal excellent elasticity and elastic energy storability paired with very high energy absorption ability. The combination of BMG properties and the developed versatile fabrication method suggest the possibility to develop a wide range of BMG structures with excellent performance for specific applications.386
