bio-inspired structures

We’re taking care of business first in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, and then moving on to news about a variety of different 3D printing materials, including egg whites. We’ll…

Just as a New Zealand-based surfer was inspired by the humpback whale and the microgrooves of shark skin when creating his surfboard fins, so too was a team of international…

While it’s possibly to quickly manufacture complex parts at a low cost using fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing, the readily available polymers are fairly weak, and the completed 3D…

An object’s design has a large influence on how damage-resistant it is. In a thesis entitled “Peridynamic Modeling of Dynamic Fracture in Bio-Inspired Structures for High Velocity Impacts,” a University…
