Fig. 2. Fabrication of Turing pattern inflatable structures using g-DLP 3D printing.

(A) Converted Turing pattern on a tube shell and the flattened image of the same pattern. (B) Designed Turing pattern in tubular form. The hard material serves as fiber embedded in the soft material matrix. (C) Computer-aided design data with the Turing pattern are sliced with grayscale patterns in individual layers for g-DLP printing. (D) Six tubes are simultaneously printed. (E) Printed tube in undeformed state. (F) Printed tube upon inflation.
