'MetaPLA' - Polymer Analysis in Materials Engineering

myminifactory

My submission for the 3D Education print competition. I call it MetaPLA because it is a model of the molecular structure of the very material it is printed in. (It is crucial for the model to be printed in no-dye PLA!). This reps my department of Materials Engineering as it relates to material analysis and molecular structures, topics that are heavily discussed in this field. The model file submitted contains two models, one of the final product (of which the end product should look like) and one with 2 components that should be printed seperately and stuck together with cyanoacrylate (to prevent messy bridging/supports and all that).
