3D Printed Ordered and Stochastic Foams

Detailed Technology Description

We provided a method for fabricating 3D printed foamstructures. Our proof of concept studies show that we can tune a material’selastic modulus and density over a range of two orders of magnitude. The resultingfine grained cellular structures/foams are suitable for use in a wide range offields ranging from bioengineering, to robotics to food printing.
