3D printing's potential for producing structures with unique properties is often underexploited. Once heated beyond the glass transition temperature, these cellular designs can be molded around forms with intricate curvature and when cooled, maintain their distorted shape. This characteristic makes them highly useful. For further insights and discussions, visit Instructables.
