Plastic may also be used to create lattice block structures for use in low-temperature applications which improves the strength and stiffness of the plastic components.

Plastic LBS could be used as a core material in laminated panels. The market opportunities for such an application include furniture, doors, office dividers, etc.

The molding process allows for the production of the LBS from a wide range of plastics, which can be strengthened through the application of an electroplated metal coating. This coating, unique only to LBS, may also enhance the structural performance of the molded LBS. Some other advantages of molded LBS are:

• High production capacity
• Wide range of available plastics
• Flexible design parameters for a wide range of scales and aspect ratios
• Corrosion resistance
• No practical limit to part size
• Recyclable
