This paper focuses on the energy absorption of additively-manufactured or 3D-printed lattice-core sandwich structures of different configurations. The rhombic dodecahedron lattice unit cell, which has been extensively investigated for energy absorption, is the starting point for this research. The compressive behaviour of 3D lattice structures with rhombic dodecahedron unit cells was examined at quasi-static loading along with the influence of the angle between struts, struts diameter, and the number of layers in the core. The angle between struts had the highest degree of influence on the specific energy absorption. The results showed that the diameter of struts has been the most influential parameter to increase mean and peak forces. The results of using the design expert software showed the optimal specific energy absorption and peak force to be 3.8779 J/gr and 3458.25 N, respectively.
