Additive manufacturing technology removes the limitations of traditional manufacturing methods for components structure,making more and more “free manufacturing” of complex structures possible.The emergence of meta-materials breaks the performance limitations of traditional nature structures and achieves many functions that natural structures cannot achieve.With the increasing maturity of additive manufacturing technology,the demand for high performance and lightweight components is more and more intense,while the meta-material further realizes the mechanical goal of super strong and ultralight with the extraordinary physical properties that natural structure does not have.The technical features of additive manufacturing eliminate the manufacturing constraints of meta-materials,improve the potential of meta-materials,and provide an effective method for complex formation of mechanical meta-material.The zero poisson ratio structure is a special mechanical meta-material that attracts wide attention due to its excellent properties.The current research progress for mechanical meta-materials of additive manufacturing technology modeling at home and abroad and the design difficulties of plate-shell structure with zero poisson ratio modeled by selective laser melting were summarized,and its development was prospected.
