Difficult to control mechanical properties2.Exhibit non-uniform properties3. Little control over directional properties4.Difficult to develop predictive modelsLawrence Livermore National Laboratory LLNL-PRES-654659 3 4. Additive Manufacturing enables the ability to pattern cellular materialswith controlled, complex architectures. We use a 3D printing process calledDirect Ink Writing to produce ordered, cellular elastomers.1. Enable better control of mechanical properties2. Exhibit more uniform properties3. Enable better control over directional properties4. Enable a predictive modeling capabilityLawrence Livermore National Laboratory LLNL-PRES-654659 4 5.
