Abstract
A 3D printed structure of an elastic material may be provided. In one implementation, the 3D printed structure may include at least a first wall having a plurality of layers extending along a first axis. The first wall may include at least a primary structural layer, a first flexible layer, and a second flexible layer. The primary structural layer may have a first rigidity and at least one of the first flexible layer or the second flexible layer may have a second rigidity, the first rigidity being greater than the second rigidity.
Claims17
A 3D printed structure of an elastic material, the 3D printed structure comprising:
- at least a first wall configured to deform when a force is applied to the first wall in a direction of a first axis and configured to return to an original form of the first wall when the applied force is released, wherein the first wall has a plurality of layers extending along the first axis, the first wall comprising at least a primary structural layer, a first flexible layer, and a second flexible layer,
- wherein the primary structural layer has a first rigidity and at least one of the first flexible layer or the second flexible layer has a second rigidity, wherein the first rigidity is greater than the second rigidity.
