Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are gaining widespread adoption across multiple engineering sectors due to their ability to create customised components with tailored mechanical properties and reduced material waste. This work presents different innovative Finite Element Method (FEM) models to characterise the behaviour of AM structures. A numerical model is presented to characterise AM porosity defects using the Representative Volume Element (RVE) concept; additionally, different unit cell approaches to study the behaviour of lattice structures are presented. The procedures and methodologies presented offer a range of tools, each with different trade-offs between accuracy and computational cost.
