Our company is working on a research project using Robotic 3D Ornithopters to mimic the natural function and mechanics of birds in flight. In researching various materials for our Design, we came across AeroGels Filaments as a potential material. Does anyone know the lightest 3D Filament Material that is available? My best guess is AeroGel from Graphene-Supermarket or LayFomm from MatterHackers. Thanks for any input!!!

BTW - the practical application is the building a functioning Bubo from Clash of the Titans!

I would use carbonfiber pla either proto pasta s or formfutura carbonfil Www.mes3dfilaments.co.uk

I’d also say the carbon fiber stuff, lightweight and rigid even with low infill.
