In this study, the mechanical properties and deformation behavior of five different strut-based lattice structures (DPL, DPLC, DPLF, OL-1, and OL-2) created using Ti-6Al-4V, which is frequently preferred in biomedical applications, were numerically investigated under compressive loads. The performance of the structures was evaluated up to 30 mm displacement. According to the results, changes in lattice topology and volume fraction have a critical effect on the maximum force. The highest maximum force was achieved with OL-2, which has the highest volume fraction at approximately 42 kN. DPL, which has a low volume fraction, demonstrated that it has the potential to reduce the stress shielding effect, which could lead to bone resorption in implants, by providing a lightweight and durable alternative with its average maximum force value. An analysis of deformation behavior revealed that the octahedral structures (OL-1 and OL-2) exhibited layer-by-layer collapse, whereas bending-dominated deformation was observed in the DPL and DPLC structures. It was determined that the DPL and DPLC structures lost their load-bearing capacity after 15 mm of compression. However, the DPLF maintained its structural integrity for a longer period during deformation and continued to bear loads in a stable manner.
