Latest Patents: Chinmai Bhat holds a patent for "Crystal structures inspired tessellations to generate multi-material properties in lattice structures with 3D printing." This invention discloses metallic crystal structures that inspire edge-to-edge tessellations. The patent describes how basic unit lattice cells are stacked and connected to form three-dimensional tessellations. Each basic unit lattice cell features multiple flat connecting portions that intersect with axes at the cell's center. The connection structure of edge-to-edge tessellation is formed by connecting the flat portions of adjacent lattice cells. The tessellations are periodically arranged within a design domain to create various lattice structures. Additionally, the invention includes Functionally Tessellated (FT) lattice structures composed of interlocking tessellations.
