Description

• Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the process of building a 3D part layer by layer from metal/polymer feedstock.
• Digital Light Processing (DLP) is the AM method used in this project.
• Soft stretchable elastomers, thin sphere
• Mechanical properties are dependent on DLP process parameters.
• Goal: Investigate how different process parameters impact the tensile properties of soft 3D-printed elastomers and how a spherical membrane of such material dynamically responds to pressure
• Applications:Prosthetics, soft robotics, on-demand components for legacy aircraft
