We finally got to print/make the design we chose. Even though the bowtie structure seems rather simple and repetitive, it was difficult to make, and it took us multiple tries. In a mold, we added layers and layers of polymer and used the hot plate to assist in solidifying the polymer. After a few redos and many, many layers of polymer, the structure was dipped in acetone and removed from the mold, and we were left with this thing: (this is where the image would go if the blog website wasn’t not letting put in a picture). Anyway, we didn’t have time to calculate the Poisson’s ratio, but we did find the measurements for it. When the structure was stretched in length by 0.1 cm, it also stretched in width by 0.05 cm.
