Zusammenfassung:A 3D printed barrel slip that includes a radially expandable barrel slip body that is movable from an unexpanded position to an expanded position; wherein the body has an outer surface that, when in the unexpanded position, defines a first radius; wherein the first radius is associated with a first curvature; and wherein, when in the expanded position, portion(s) of the outer surface has a second curvature that is less than the first radius. The body is an integrally formed single-component body that defines an external surface; and an internal chamber isolated from the external surface. The internal chambers affect the strength of portions of the body to control the timing of deployment of the barrel slip.
