• Broadband mechanical metamaterial absorber (BMMA) is designed in lattice structures.

• It implements both electromagnetic wave absorption and reinforced relative stiffness.

• BMMAs consist of multi-layered, octet-truss cells of carbon black-based composites.

• 3D printed BMMAs achieve > 90% absorbance (~98.66% on average) for 5.8–18 GHz.

• It maintains constant stiffness per unit mass density of 1.37 at a low density (~200 kg/m3).
