Metallic foams are relatively unknown structural materials, however with enormous future potential for applications where lightweight combined with high stiffness and acceptable manufacturing costs are of prime interest. The performance of metallic foams, in particular those made of aluminium, in various prototypes, such as foamed panels, sandwiches, complex 3-D parts, foamed hollow profiles as well as castings with foamed cores, has been discussed with respect to the expected and achieved goals. The important contributions of aluminium foam to the improvement of the product's properties are highlighted and most promising utilisation is suggested.
