Printing light structures
A month ago, I designed a light frame structure which I could post tension and use to replace much of the steel in a next generation Reprap printer.
No biggie but, not being a native speaker, Im just slightly confused by the terms pre-stressed and post-tensioned. Before or after what process is intended here?

ReplyDeleteMind, I can do multiples with Slice and Dice. It's no big trick.
