Abstract
A sparse micro-truss structure having a series of unit cells arranged in an array is disclosed. Each of the unit cells includes a series of struts interconnected at a node. Adjacent unit cells are spaced apart by a gap. Spacing apart the adjacent unit cells is configured to reduce the sensitivity of the sparse micro-truss structure to premature mechanical failure due to buckling in one or more of the struts compared to related art micro-truss structures having a series of fully interconnected unit cells.
