Viscoelastic Damping Viscoelastic damping uses flexible, energy-absorbing materials to reduce vibrations, noise, and mechanical oscillations in 3D printed parts. It enhances impact resistance, fatigue durability, and structural stability. Viscoelastic filaments, such as TPU or TPE, provide high damping properties, ideal for shock absorbers, vibration isolators, and wearable devices. Proper layer bonding, infill patterns, and print orientation optimize damping performance. Advanced simulations analyze dynamic behavior and stress distribution. Viscoelastic damping expands applications in automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics for noise reduction and mechanical stability. |
