| Opis: | This study presents a predictive manufacturing framework for customizing the biomechanical response of a 3D printed ergonomic armrest based on relaxed Voronoi metamaterials. A double curved armrest geometry was combined with parametric lattice generation, stereolithography printing in BioMed Elastic 50A resin, uniaxial compression testing of cylindrical lattice specimens, and homogenized finite element simulations using a CT derived forearm model under 15, 30, and 45 N loading. The results showed that both cell size and ligament thickness strongly affected compressive behavior, with smaller cells and thicker ligaments producing higher stiffness and earlier densification. Among the uniform configurations selected for simulation, the E-9-1.5 lattice provided the most balanced response, maintaining contact pressure below about 70 kPa up to 45 N, whereas the stiffer E-7-1.5 configuration exceeded 160 kPa and the E-7-1 configuration surpassed 100 kPa at higher load. Based on these findings, a functionally graded Voronoi concept was developed to combine a more compliant central zone with a stiffer peripheral support region while preserving conformity to the complex armrest boundary. Overall, the results show that relaxed Voronoi lattices offer a computationally efficient route toward anatomically conforming and mechanically tunable cushioning interfaces. |
