Recent advances in additive manufacturing make it possible to fabricate periodic lattice structures with complex configurations. However, a proper design strategy to achieve lattice structures with controlled anisotropy is still unavailable. There is an urgent need to fill this knowledge gap in order to develop mechanical metamaterials with prescribed properties. Here we propose two different methodologies to design lattice structures with controlled anisotropy. As examples, we created two new families of lattice structures with isotropic elasticity and cubic symmetric geometry. The findings of this work provide simple and effective strategies for exploring lightweight metamaterials with desired mechanical properties.
