Engineer43 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Anyone have any suggestions for a strong material that can be used in a 3D printer, but has super low thermal conductivity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enthalpy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Among solids, you won't get a thermal conductivity much lower than any polymer has. Alas, they aren't mechanically strong. Maybe the answer is to optimize the shape instead. Take a good material, adapt the design to its possibilities. How necessary is the 3D printer? Maybe you could prints some parts of your design, and add a few ones manually, like tensile aramide strings that hold the insulated part to the rest. Or enclose the insulated part in a bed of cork that is only compressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
