In this paper, two types of beetle elytron plates (end-trabecular beetle elytron plate (EBEP) and middle-trabecular beetle elytron plate (MBEP)) and honeycomb plate (HP) were manufactured by 3-D printed and applied to large-span spatial structure. The lateral compressive performance of the 3-D printed beetle elytron plate was investigated by lateral compression bearing capacity test and numerical analysis. The influence of number of cylinders, ratio of the radius of the cylinder to the side length of the hexagonal honeycomb core (ratio of radius-length), thickness of core layer and configuration of beetle elytron plate on the lateral compressive performance of the beetle elytron plates were studied and the optimization method for lateral compressive performance of the beetle elytron plates was proposed. The result shows that the lateral compression bearing capacity of EBEP is greater than that of MBEP, and both are greater than of HP. The lateral compression bearing capacity of the beetle elytron plate with six cylinders is about 25% higher than that of the HP without cylinders. The lateral compression bearing capacity of beetle elytron plate can be improved by increasing the thickness of plates. The results of the study will promote the application of beetle elytron plates in large-span spatial structures.
