Abstract

Being an advanced structure which integrates the advantages of lattice structures and composite materials, the resin-based composite lattice structure is an ideal structural material to realize the lightweight, multifunctional, and intelligent aircraft structure. However, due to the characteristics of the composite lattice structure, such as the anisotropy of composite materials, the cross-scale feature, the complex geo-metric topology configuration, and the multi-functional integrated design requirements, there are many problems and challenges in the manufacturing technology of composite lattice structure. This article reviews the development of composite lattice structure manufacturing technology and characteristics. In addition to the analysis of current status, the characteristics of the manufacturing technology are classified and discussed, and the key techniques of manufacturing technologies are analyzed. The existing problems restricting the development of the manufacturing technology for the composite lattice are further analyzed. Finally, the future development directions of the composite lattice structure preparation field are suggested.
