3D Printing of cylindrical shells with varied stiffness

Nan Hu's picture

Hi, all,

I'm planning to print a series of cylindrical shells with different material patches on shell surface. The size is about 100 mm in length, 80 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm in shell thickness. The shell was designed with varied stiffness by using two different material properties. The 3D assembly has been created with two groups such that it is easy to select one group for a specific material. I wonder did any of you try some commercial 3D printing companies or providers who can fabricate similar structure with varied stiffness and afforable cost. Let me know. Thanks!

Nan

Objet connex can do it. But it won't be cheap.

Hi Nan,

your project is interesting, have you tried them 3D printing service Sculpteo, or i.materialise Shapeway?
