Additive Design Mimics the Strength and Architect of Nature

Abstract: It is believed that the best parts’ design and performance which mimics creation of nature. Palm a very good example an extra ordinary tree must attract attention engineers designers. In contrast with other types trees, palms have vascular, jumble, spongy tissue stem instead wooden one. This reason why palm trees can stand strong hurricanes while cannot. The composed three main parts. Those are body, central core, leaves growing from core in circular axial patterns along core. natural combination tissues different construction provides extra-flexibility to stem, enhance relative movement these components, as result enables bend massively without any catastrophic fracture. exceptional inspired author manufacture part most public at home country. model was additively manufactured 316L, tested for bending heat treatment, compare cast similar material dimensions. aim always achieve improved mechanical properties AM parts complex geometry.
