The proposed work will be conducted with parts printed with a Stratasys Dimension 1200es 3D printer, which uses an acrylonitritle butadiene styrene (ABS) thermoplastic building material, or a MakerBot Replicator 2, which uses polylactic acid (PLA). Additional materials and processes will also be available through our collaboration with Stratasys.
