GitHub Sponsors Profile
Welcome to FILDZ Research, based in Lithuania, where we aim to broaden the view on the popular topic of 3D printing through our comprehensive research and innovation in fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology.
Reintroducing FDM Technology
FDM technology, known for its popularity and affordability, continues to surprise with its versatility. Our work spans multiple fields, demonstrating that FDM remains a powerful option for pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
We explore FDM possibilities in the following fields:
Textiles
Foam-like materials
Surfaces
Textures
Soft robotics
Lattice structures
Metamaterials
Research
We have published the following proof-of-concepts:
QWeave: Flexible and Durable 4D Woven Fabric
QPad: Memory-Retaining and Shock-Absorbing Material
QMesh: Multifunctional Surface
QSheet: Flexible and Durable Film
QArc: Lattice Structure Cell
