New Process Could Strengthen 3-D-Printed Materials by 200 Percent
The strength of 3-D-printed products could be improved through a new technique developed by scientists at UT and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The new process, which uses UV irradiation, could strengthen bonds of 3-D-printed materials to withstand 200 percent more transverse stress, according to a study published in Macromolecules.
