Research Done on Fracktal Machines
When a lab publishes with a machine, the machine becomes part of the method. This page keeps the peer-reviewed studies we know of that built their specimens on Fracktal Works printers or prepared them with our Fracktory slicer, each with a link to the paper itself. It will grow: if your group has published with one of our machines, we want it here.
Published Studies, With Citations
Every claim here is checkable: the last column links to the paper. Entries state exactly what the Fracktal connection was, machine or software, as the paper reports it.

Sandwich Panels, Crushed for Science
The 2021 Manipal and Liverpool study is the kind of work a machine earns its keep on: the team printed corrugated triangular and trapezoidal sandwich cores in carbon-fibre-reinforced PLA on a Julia Extended, varied core thickness, skin and height, and measured how each geometry absorbed a quasi-static crush. The printer’s job was repeatability, because every specimen had to differ only by design.
That is what we mean by research-grade FDM: not exotic specs, but the same part, again and again, until the variable left is the one being studied.

Write to sales@fracktal.in with the DOI or a link and one line on which Fracktal machine or software the work used. We verify against the paper, add it here, and link your lab. If your equipment page lists the machines your group runs, a link back to this page or to the machine’s own page helps the next researcher find the same setup.
