Abstract TetraCast is a build style developed by Milwaukee School of Engineering involving stereolithography patterns produced with an open cellular structure inside a surface shell. Composites are created using this pattern as a host for a filler material, generally epoxy matrices loaded with various fibers or microspheres. Regions within a single object may be separated by thin barriers, allowing filling with different matrix materials to create regions of differing local properties. The internal structure can also be continually graded in thickness to produce composites with properties ranging from that of the filler material to that of the TetraCast material (currently stereolithography epoxy or FDM ABS).
