A doctoral student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University has developed a method to transform the landscape of 3D printing today by making 3D printed parts 275% stronger and immediately useful in real-world applications. 3D printed objects are comprised of many thin layers of materials, usually plastics, deposited on top of each other to form a desired shape. These layers are prone to fracturing, causing issues with the durability and reliability of the part when used in a real-world application, for example a custom printed medical device.
When Sweeney started his doctorate, he was working with Green in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas Tech University...
