3d printed structure

thingiverse

I discovered an innovative structure while reading a scientific paper on lightweight yet incredibly strong structures. It seemed like an exciting project to explore how these designs perform when created with 3D printing using diverse materials, such as ABS and PLA. Experimenting with dual extrusion on flexible materials would be fascinating. You can access the paper I drew inspiration from here: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/science.1240889/DC1
