3D Printed Lacrosse Balls: Will It Break or Bounce?

Posted by

At Xometry, we’ve tested the impact resistance of 3D printed parts in a few processes in the past, but now we're diving deeper and exploring more polymers and infill options.

We offer dozens of 3D printed polymers that you can instantly price online through Xometry's 3D printing service. They all have their strengths and ideal applications, but polymers, in general, are known for their durability.

So, how do we test that durability? High-velocity impact, of course! And sometimes the best way to do that….is by throwing stuff at a wall. To honor the start of the spring sports season, what better method than a Maryland favorite: lacrosse.

So grab your safety glasses and see what happens when we put balls-to-the-wall!
