I'm not sure what difference that would make?
I mean, obviously metal is going to be stronger than fused plastic, but I gather here that what makes it stronger than normal is the structure.
Wouldn't FDM plastic objects made with this structure be stronger than FDM objects made with a more conventional structure? That would be very useful even if it's not as strong as metal.
I think I'm going to print up some test pieces and do destructive testing.
- rsfern 2y agoSorry - I didn’t mean to come off as discouraging, that’s part of why I linked the BEAR paper! I agree in relative terms, I’d think this cellular structure should have better compressive strength than a different structure made of the same material I guess where I’m coming from is that FDM titanium (if you can realistically print that, I don’t know) isn’t going to have the same properties as SLM titanium, so the headline strength (in absolute terms) is probably not achievable in FDM Ti
