Innovation Overground: Print better plastics with carbon fiber (303)
Monday, 20 July, 2020
What’s light as plastic, strong as steel and less expensive per pound than the chassis of an Italian sportscar? Carbon fiber reinforced polymers, duh! Join the Overground as they extend their tour of the mind-bending world of materials science to the juncture of additive manufacturing, uncompromising structural rigidity and sustainable sourcing. It’s the only podcast in your feed that will point you in the general direction of building your own Pontiac Fiero chassis from locally sourced organic ingredients.
