Pattern collapse of 3D-printed structures induced by elastocapillarity

탄성모세관 기반 3D Print구조물의 패턴 붕괴

The mechanical stability of 3D-printed structures is critical for their performance across various applications, where geometric design plays a pivotal role in determining their resilience. Understanding the factors that contribute to the collapse of these structures is essential for optimizing their design. In this study, we fabricated vertical repetitive pattern structures using a Formlabs 3D printer, followed by post-processing with isopropyl alcohol (IPA). The collapse behavior of the printed patterns was visualized, revealing that the extent of collapse varied depending on geometric modifications. These findings provide key insights into the structural collapse mechanisms of 3D-printed architectures, informing future design strategies aimed at improving mechanical durability and preventing collapse. This version introduces the topic with general context before transitioning to your specific experimental approach.
