“Mechanical properties of 3D-printed specimens mimicking natural rock heterogeneity: The role of bedding angle, thickness, and mineral composition”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38116222

This study investigates the mechanical properties of 3D-printed specimens replicating natural rock heterogeneity, revealing that strength and fragmentation are influenced by bedding angle, thickness, and mineral composition, rather than overall grain percentage area.
