LLNL 3D-printed foam outperforms standard materials

Green Car Congress

However, since 3D printing requires the use of polymers of certain properties, it is important to understand the long-term mechanical stability of such printed materials before they can be commercialized. The material is built up layer-by-layer, with each layer consisting of equally-spaced parallel cylinders of the same uniform diameter.
