A team of researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and IMDEA Materials Institute came up with a new experimental technique for fragmentation tests meant to analyze the protective qualities of 3D printed metallic structures. This faster, more flexible method tests the mechanical performance of these materials,...
