A man by the name of Andreas Bastian, recently talked with me at length about an incredible innovative technology he has been working on. He can basically print out bendable objects using PLA and other stiff materials on 3D Printers. He refers to these objects as mesostructured materials, and they are quite fascinating indeed.

Here is an example:


As you can see, he uses an incredible design to make the objects bendable. Read the entire story and interview I conducted with him at: http://3dprint.com/2739/bastian-mesostructured/
