\nInnovative mathematics-driven 3D printing technology creates ultra-complex lattice geometry in unprecedented volumes
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

TORONTO, March 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MESH Consultants, a Toronto-based mathematical consultancy, is announcing the launch of their spin-off company, Metafold, focused on the 3D printing of highly complex geometries. This new startup uses advanced mathematics to offer novel 3D printing technologies, with the groundbreaking ability to print challenging geometries that other 3D printing systems cannot handle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The advent of 3D printing opened doors to producing new types of geometries that were previously unimaginable using traditional manufacturing methods. Metafold has gone further \u2013 still using standard 3D printing media (such as polymers, ceramics, and metals), but now with the ability to access new material spaces through tight control of the geometry of printed objects, specifically lattices.<\/p>\n

Lattice geometries are defined by a single geometric motif that is repeated in a pattern to fill space. Mathematically engineered materials like lattices, known as metamaterials, <\/em>have a huge range of industrial applications. Metal lattices used in the aerospace industry are ultra-light yet unyielding. Footwear and protective equipment benefit from the compressive properties of lattices. Filtration systems that employ lattice geometries have dramatically increased surface areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To date, the challenges of digitally representing such complex lattice geometries, along with the task of preparing these representations for input to 3D printers, have created a computational bottleneck and hampered the exploration and application of metamaterials at scale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMetafold\u2019s 3D printing technology takes a fundamentally different approach to geometric complexity,\u201d states Metafold CTO Daniel Hambleton, \u201cwhich unlocks surprising detail in unprecedented print volumes and high resolution. This creates an accelerated and accessible development process for metamaterials.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Metafold CEO Dr. Elissa Ross explains: \u201cAs mathematicians working in the design and manufacturing industries, we have seen first-hand how time-consuming and challenging it is to design, print, and test when working with lattice geometry and metamaterials. We believe our new approach to this problem will facilitate printing at the frontiers of scientific discovery and industrial advancements.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

Metafold\u2019s mission is to realize the innovative future promised by additive manufacturing, featuring sustainable, materially efficient, and smart production.<\/p>\n
