The materials with controlled microstructural architecture (MCMA) is a class of artificial structural materials with rearranged inner structures that overcomes the limitations in material properties that result from bulk-processing methodologies: insufficient control over the arrangement of the constituents and the effects of flaws in the material. Inspired by the widespread biological microarchitectures, such as wood, bone, and shells, a lot of mimic structures can be designed and carefully exanimated. As the advances of 3D printing technologies, now the fabrication resolution goes beyond sub-micrometer, thus, it offers very good chance to exploit synergies between microscale control and material properties. In our study, the lattice confinement algorithm is employed to calculate the topological structure of the MCMA, and it is precisely fabricated via the direct laser writing later.
