UMass Utilizes 3D Printing to Better Understand How Fish Accelerate By James Lefebvre If you’ve ever attempted to catch a fish with your hands while swimming in a lake, then you know how quickly they can dart away. As it turns out, fish can accelerate more efficiently through water than man-made vessels can. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts’ Fluid-Structures Interactions Laboratory have been utilizing 3D printing to help them figure out how fish can achieve such spectacular acceleration rates. In particular, they’re interested in the Northern Pike, which can achieve one of the quickest instantaneous accelerations of up to 245m/s2.… The original post UMass Utilizes 3D Printing to Better Understand How Fish Accelerate appeared first on 3D Printing Industry. #3dprintindustry #3dprinting ift.tt/eA8V8J
