Testing carbon-fiber reinforced PCTG from North Dakota manufacturer 3D Fuel to see just how strong it really is. The printed test sample held nearly 700 pounds of tensile force before failure—which is why this material is being considered for an upcoming H3DForge product currently in development.
Watch the creation process behind our airless basketball in this time-lapse from start to finish. Using advanced additive manufacturing, the ball is printed layer by layer to form a flexible lattice structure that mimics the bounce and feel of a traditional basketball—without the need for air.
