I tried making a shape-memory printed model and deforming it!
[Mitarepo] 3D Printing x Shape Memory! I actually tried to see if it can be freely deformed and retained!
"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. The theme of Vol. 23 is "I made a shape memory print model and tried to deform it!" This time, we challenged ourselves to actually create using a shape memory filament that deforms at 55°C. We also heated the model in hot water to see if it could be freely deformed. "Isn't it difficult to create with shape memory materials?" "Does it really deform and solidify?" We will explain the actual printing process using shape memory materials along with images of the deformed print models. *You can download the materials from the button below.
