Researchers from IMDEA Materials and UPM have developed 3D printed Nitinol metamaterials with woven structures that overcome the performance limits of metal additive manufacturing.

Originally reported by 3D Printing Industry

Researchers from IMDEA Materials and UPM have developed 3D printed Nitinol metamaterials with woven structures that overcome the performance limits of metal additive manufacturing. Traditionally, additively manufactured Nitinol suffers a 50 percent reduction in deformability compared to conventional alloys. By using an algorithmic framework to design tubular woven geometries, the team successfully tuned stiffness and energy absorption through architecture alone. This design-led approach enables high-performance superelastic components for robotics and aerospace. 🚀 #3DPrinting #Nitinol #Aerospace #MedTech
