3D printing of rock analogues in sand: a tool for design and repeatable testing of geomechanical and transport properties

Natural rocks can be heterogeneous due to complex diagenetic processes that affect mineralogy and pore architecture. Correlation of geomechanical and transport properties of rocks in three dimensions can lead to large variances in data when tested experimentally. 3D-printing of rock analogues in san...
