  Specific strength (strength/density) is a crucial factor while designing high
load bearing architecture in areas of aerospace and defence. Strength of the
material can be enhanced by blending with high strength component or, by
compositing with high strength fillers but both the options has limitations
such as at certain load, materials fail due to poor filler and matrix
interactions. Therefore, researchers are interested in enhancing strength of
materials by playing with topology/geometry and therefore nature is best option
to mimic for structures whereas, complexity limits nature mimicked structures.
In this paper, we have explored Zeolite-inspired structures for load bearing
capacity. Zeolite-inspired structure were obtained from molecular dynamics
simulation and then fabricated via Fused deposition Modeling. The atomic scale
complex topology from simulation is experimentally synthesized using 3D
printing. Compressibility of as-fabricated structures was tested in different
direction and compared with simulation results. Such complex architecture can
be used for ultralight aerospace and automotive parts.
