Novel computational tools and optimisation strategies offer an unprecedented framework to explore large design spaces within a short time frame. In the scope of material design, these new possibilities have completely revolutionized the research horizon, leading amongst other things to controlled anisotropy media with a finer granularity than ever seen before. However, a question arises regarding the manufacturability of such media which most of the time relies on 3D printing and the agreement between modelled and printed geometry. In the recent years, the authors published several articles on the properties of Kelvin Cell packings and the possibility to control their anisotropy. In the last few months, an effort towards printing the designed media has been made in search for experimental validation of the numerical results. This contribution describes the printing process for kelvin cell packing samples with controlled anisotropy and analyses their agreement with the model both from a geometric and from a physical response standpoint. Depending on the advances of current research, information on the dynamic behaviour of such systems will be discussed.
