Can 3D Printers Make Cotton, Paper And Wool Sole?

< p style= "text-align: left > > with the increasing popularity of 3D printing technology, printed products are also becoming more and more close to mainstream products.

We have seen all kinds of organs printed by 3D, 3D printed metal products, 3D teddy bears printed, but the fabric printed 3D print products are still the first to be heard. Let's get to know soon.

< p style= "text-align: left >" recently, an industrial designer named Oluwaseyi Sosanya has put forward a very peculiar idea to build a a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/" 3D printer that can make 3D products based on fabric.

However, only fabric is used as raw material, and the products produced will obviously be soft and difficult to form.

< /p >

< p style= "text-align: left >", however, the graduate student from Royal College of Art thought that she could make the machine print the same shape as honeycomb and so on, so that the toughness of products could be greatly improved.

If we can add some silicone resin in the printing process, we can greatly enhance the firmness of the product.

< p style= "text-align: left > > Sosanya indicates that the articles printed in this way are characterized by flexibility and high intensity.

In order to more vividly demonstrate the application of this concept in real life, Sosanya gave a real example. The following figure is shown in this picture, the < a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/" > the sole "/a".

According to introducing, this pair of soles are made of three kinds of materials, such as cotton, paper and wool, and a continuous thread thread is added.

< p > according to Sosanya, this idea of < a href= "http:// sjfzxm.com/DESIGN/designer/index.asp" > cellular design /a > is not by accident, but from nature.

After carefully observing the honeycomb nesting pattern, he found that the honeycomb structure was the most stable and stable.

In addition, the structure of cell enlargement also has a great impact on him, Sosanya said.

< p > although these soles are only one example, Sosanya believes that this 3D printing technology will be applied in many fields in the future, such as operation pplants, air purification and so on.

"I am now developing technology materials that can be used to make helmets and women's anti stab vests. I hope that British female law enforcement officers will be able to reduce accidents by wearing stab vests."

Sosanya claims.

< p > the 3D printer designed by Sosanya is now displayed in the exhibition hall of Royal College of Art. The activity will end at the end of this month.

There is no news indicating when the new design will be commercialized.
