3D Printing the Hypothetical Substructure of Spacetime

The Quasicrystalline Spin Network (QSN) is an extremely hard object to 3D-print, especially on a fully homemade 3D printer.

Russ Gries and Ray Aschheim, two research scientists at Quantum Gravity Research, tell us about the process of creating the virtual 3D model using Mathematica and then creating the 3D-printed physical object.

For a much more detailed video that contains a challenge for 3D printing hobbyists, check out Russ’s video here.
