Recent developments show that honeycomb structures built by a continuous production process can be successful in industrial applications at different scales (from nanosciences to aerospace applications) because of their material savings and low weight; while maintaining the mechanical properties required in the application. However, these properties cannot be well exploited when the three-dimensional shapes to be built have complex geometries because the theory supporting the production process is centered on an axial slice and two two-dimensional curves for the representation of the three-dimensional shapes. This work extends the range of applications of the technology by means of a new design methodology based on the constructive solids geometry (CSG) that allows combining the hexagonal honeycomb cell into complex three-dimensional structures by means of boolean operations while maintaining an optimal utilization of the material within a continuous production process.
