The hollow struts are interesting, I've worked with lattices but that's not something I saw before. I guess they are stronger than solid struts with a smaller diameter so they have the same amount of material.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoI’m very curious if they can actually empty the un-fused material out of those tiny struts. They said they printed it with a powder bed printer, so voids would be filled with powder unless they can be emptied. I’m curious how that affects weight. I wonder if they used the theoretical empty weight or the actual manufactured weight in their calculations, and how different that makes things.

- OvbiousError 3y agoHuh I didn't see the powder part. If the voids are filled with powder anyway, is there a point in not making them solid? I don't see how you would go about emptying that?
