Abstract: Because of its light weight, high specific strength and high energy absorption capacity, the metal lattice structure has great application prospects in aerospace, biomedicine and other fields. The laser powder bed fusion technology accurately controls the structural parameters of lattice structures, and then realizing the material-structure-performance integrated design and manufacturing of metal lattice structures. Therefore, in this paper, the mechanical response mechanism, failure behavior, structural optimization design and the influence of laser powder bed fusion on the forming quality and mechanical properties of metal lattice structures are reviewed in terms of common lattice structure types such as rod-shaped lattice structure, plate-shaped lattice structure and three-period minimal surface lattice structure. Furthermore,from the perspective of structural design and optimization, laser powder bed fusion technology, and functional design, the opportunities and challenges that metal lattice structures may face are proposed.
