Monolithic cellular/solid structures. (a) CAD model for porous foam core surrounded by less porous (higher density) foam structure. (b) Ti-6Al-4V components fabricated by EBM. (c) Alternative, perspective view of (b). Arrow shows a thin, solid tube core surrounded by foam structure. The arrow for the solid cylinder in (b) shows the build direction parallel to the cylinder axis.
