Aerogel
Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000014
A highly porous, ultralight material derived from a gel, where the liquid component has been replaced with a gas. This results in a solid with extremely low density and high thermal insulation properties. Aerogels are often used in specialized applications requiring lightweight insulation or filtration.
