Additive Manufacturing-Fused Deposition Modeling

Purpose: Design object with the highest weight to strength ratio
Step #1 - Designing the infill pattern of the parts to reduce the material usage
Length*width*depth is 30*30*20 mm 
Infill density should not exceed 30%
Step #2 - 3D parts drawing using Creo software 
Provide two different designs
Step #3 - 3D printing (1 sample per group) 
The thickness of fine features should be at least 0.8 mm
Step #4 - Conducting compressive test and calculating all related data from stress-strain curve
Started out wanting to create honeycombs
Pivoted to + and then X design pattern
From that spawn the idea for diamond shape to support the walls caving in
Triangles are the strongest shape to relieve tension and compression
