The 3D printing division of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is chock full of experts at 3D printing objects with unique, microscopic shapes that transform the physical properties of the larger object. Just by changing the pattern of individual layers, they can manipulate the physics of the object as a whole. The government lab’s research has just found a powerful partner that will develop the software to scale up that technology.
