Kindly tell me the material used to make these blades

[T C]

TL;DR

There is a photo given below and I specifically want to know what kind of materials are used to make the blades. I just know that it has been made by a 3D printer.

Kindly look at the photo and tell me what kind of materials are used to make the model. I specifically want to know what kind of materials are used to make the blades. I just know that it's made of synthetic resin by a 3D printer. But kindly specify what kind of synthetic resin is used here.

Why not contact the creator of this project?

It's next to impossible to look at a photo and say oh yeah they used X to make it.

 

[T C]

Can you inform me something? If yes, then kindly inform.

He did. He said "It's next to impossible to look at a photo and say oh yeah they used X to make it. "

It looks to be a solid, not a liquid or a gas.

@T C We cannot give you an answer. Why? Because it can be many different resins and a picture does not allow us to differentiate among those resins.

We need a link to the original article. Where did you find the picture?
Is it a turbine rotor, ducted fan, or a diffuser?
What are the dimensions?

In general, I find it kind of depressing that people are so reluctant to say I don't know and also that others can't accept that as a useful answer.

Also, there is a lot of knowledge and art in asking a good question. Good questions get the best answers.

Edit: BTW, I don't know either.

If the OP asked the right question, the answer would be obvious, they would know the answer themselves, so they would not have asked it. It is our job to ask questions, until we almost find out what the right question should have been, at which point the OP will realize they knew the answer all the time.

If we knew something about the device we could reverse engineer the construction and materials required.

It's a turbine having 50 cm external diameter and 36 cm internal diameter. In short, the the width is 7 cm.

And where did you get the picture?

 

[T C]

From a friend of mine. It's a part of new kind of power generation system.

 

[berkeman]

Have you asked your friend what material was used to 3D print the part? Or maybe have your friend ask their friend...

 

[T C]

Yes. But haven't got any reply. He is reluctant to answer.

 

[berkeman]

He has a new thread that is possibly related... https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/kindly-name-the-accessories.988977/
