Gyroid is a pattern that is supposedly strong, but it tends to add quite a bit of time to print jobs. That’s because it ...

The NIH already uses 3D printing for a number of purposes, including making special lab equipment and creating anatomy models that doctors can then use to plan medical procedures. Scientists who ...

Influences of Printing Pattern on Mechanical Performance of Three-Dimensional-Printed Fiber-Reinforced Concrete. 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, 2020; DOI: 10.1089/3dp.2020.0172 ...

3D printing master patterns can reduce the investment casting production time from weeks to days, potentially resulting in up to 75% time savings compared to traditional methods of manufacturing ...

CNC and machining specialist Thermwood Corp. (Dale, IN, US) has 3D printed a boat hull pattern using a near net shape additive manufacturing process and then successfully used to produce a ...

That might not always be the case, however, as researchers at Rice University found a way to 3D print complex patterns resulting in plastic objects that are almost as hard and durable as diamond.
