Open cell foam actually has channels to which air can escape because only the edges of the cells are solid vs closed cell foam where the faces of the cells are solid as well. The interesting things to me are gradient density lattices which just can’t be done any other way. Maybe stacking different foams but that still can’t achieve what 3D printing can. Lattices can also be non isotopic where the material behaves differently depending on the direction of impact. Super interesting stuff!
All good points.
Very interesting, please consider a short video like this about FEA for 3D Printed Foam. Thanks from Colorado.
We'll take a look
I've been investigating 3D printed foams with my FDM machine, I've been using gyroid so far since this can be printed quite quickly, although I would love to hear how you select which pattern type to use for your foams.
However, I've noticed that the characteristics of my 3D-printed foams vary quite a lot based on temperature. Sub-zero (celsius), my TPE/TPU prints are all quite hard, after some deformation they become quite soft.
How are you making sure your foams have consistent characteristics? For example in seats?
Just plain old chemistry? finding the right filament?
Bingo. Helmets have to pass the testing at the full temperature range. This is the CPSC standard: Two helmets stay at normal room temperature and humidity (ambient conditions). Two are kept at cold temperatures between 1 °F and 9 °F (-17 °C and -13 °C) for 4 to 24 hours. Two are kept at hot temperatures between 117 °F and 127 °F (47 °C and 53 °C) for the same amount of time.
I want this technology to be true. I have my concerns about testing, and legal cover, and custom helmets.
Really interesting topic... I'd love to hear more about it because the only widespread alternative to foam in FDM is TPU which is... Meh
Would love to go deeper into this topic! Thanks for the info!
It is a really cool area
Can it be used for industrial packing ? Any videos show the process behind to create these freefoam prints etc ?
Really enjoyed that. I can learn a lot from you guys!
The breathability point is dubious because it is not difficult to have a traditional foam design with some holes cut into it. All the other points are definitely valid. The Adidas 4D is especially interesting because they made the geometry in such a way as to move backwards under compression. From what I understand this is near impossible to achieve without 3D printing.
Thanks. The problem with the traditional "hole" or "wave prints" to aide breathability is that they create pressure points. The 3D Printed lattices are able to spread and loads much more evenly and uniformly. For generally padding it is not that big of a deal, except in motorcycle gear, but we did not discuss prosthetic sockets where it is an enourmous problem.
Tpu is one of my favorite materials to work with because of its squishiness. Larry
Absolutely
would tpu be a good solution to making a replacement motorcycle seat?
Very interesting. Thanks for the upload. 👍
Thanks for watching
Nice overview video! With foams, products designers are concerned with more factors than just breathability. Sometimes breathability is not an issue. Other times, Rebound is very important, as is compression set. Weight and tear strength as well. FDM TPU meshes dont feel half as good as a extruded polyurethane or eva foam, and they don't compress equally in all directions. I like the idea of Carbon's Adidas bottom, but these shoes are rather expensive, and now dirt can get stuck in there. I have a pair and they do feel good, bu the shoe is a bit heavy. I do love 3d printing and have been using it since the 1990s so I'm all in ideologically but the foam alternatives that Ive seen are just not close to the real thing. Id like to try ColorFabb's Varioshore TPU, that seems rather interesting. Even so, many times with foams we need it to be softer than 60 Shore A, which I've not yet seen from an FDM printer. Anyone know how soft the Carbon or SLA type printers can print a material? and have you used anything softer than 60 Shore A?
Make a new matress with this... ultimate cooling
Great video!
Thanks!
Anyone working on the same concept, with dilatant foam (D3O, Poron, etc)?
4:15. 1 second of b-roll fame. I made it maa.
