3D printing is an exciting development. Being able to print projects with less machining is inherently more efficient. However, different materials have varying mechanical properties making it difficult to make them perform well in varying conditions.
One potential solution is the use of a cellulose nanofiber plate (CNFP), which has high specific strength, impact toughness, and low thermal expansion. This is superior to typical polymers, metals, and ceramics. And it could be relatively low cost.
