Apparently the super math nerds at Rice University have also been studying history.
They are using work done by Hermann Schwarz from the late 1800's to optimize 3D printing through the magic of math and stuff that was over my head to be honest. Look, I just find these articles and decide if they are worth reading by smarter people than me. So, pull up your geeky nerd panties and check out this story from Rice.
The story is a bit nerdy I admit, but to boil it down, this work is important to you because someday, roving 3D printing robots may be able to just print you a spacious house on the edge of town, made from a giant, light weight, super strong Shwarzite blocks which were inspired by shapes and forms found in nature.
