© 2020 The Society of Rheology. To enable robust rheological measurements of the properties of yield stress fluids, we introduce a class of modified vane fixtures with fractal-like cross-sectional structures. A greater number of outer contact edges leads to increased kinematic homogeneity at the point of yielding and beyond. The vanes are 3D printed (3DP) using a desktop stereolithography machine, making them inexpensive (disposable), chemically compatible with a wide range of solvents, and readily adaptable as a base for further design innovations. To complete the tooling set, we introduce a textured 3DP cup, which attaches to a standard rheometer base. We discuss general design criteria for 3DP rheometer vanes, including consideration of ...
