N2 - Additive Manufacturing (AM) use in construction has been on the rise in recent years. This means faster build times, less waste, and increased efficiency. Conventional structural building blocks are not fully leveraging the capabilities offered by AM. For this reason, the authors propose using AM-enabled self-supporting structures as a part of the construction process. Using these unconventional structural members requires testing; however, full-scale testing is not always economically feasible. From an experimental testing standpoint, it would be easier to test these in a controlled environment at a small scale; as the behavior of lattice structures in structural loading is yet unknown. To understand the behavior of these structures, it is imperative to understand whether the existing scaling laws can be applied to these non-homogeneous, discontinuous lattice structures. This paper explores the requirements for performing scaled-down testing on latticed beams with dissimilar materials in a virtual environment. The performance rating of the unit cells tested in order is Diamond, Gyroid, and Fluorite.
