A study of a 3D-printed model has found that the structure of bones can be used to form sturdier objects and architectures. There are horizontal and vertical rods found in the bone that can degenerate and break. These rod-like and plate-like structures provide the stiffness and strength for the bone. In order to test how bone structures degenerate through time, a team from Cornell, Purdue, and Case Western Reserve University created a 3D-printed model. They ran experiments to understand its durability through compression. The study also addressed the light weight of the 3D printed model where it is economically efficient to produce and transport.
