Scientists can now tell your 3D printed parts exactly how much they can lift,
ending the awkwardness when they're spotted at the gym. The gyroid — my favorite triply periodic minimal surface structure — is far more than a cool-looking infill option. Thanks to new research from the Univ. of Maine, the strength of gyroid infills can now be accurately calculated with a reliable mathematical formula. Engineers now have a predictive tool, rather than relying on extensive physical prototyping.
