Empa researchers have now succeeded in combining all the ‘green’ advantages of biodegradable materials, 3D printing, and ultra-light aerogels, in a single, cellulose-based, 3D printable material. The ...

Ensure efficient use of new 3D printing materials with these strategic steps for your team. Discover how training and workflow integration can make a difference.

Although the components of wood – cellulose and lignin – are exceedingly cheap and plentiful, combining these into a wood-like structure is not straightforward, despite many attempts to… ...

While new sustainable materials are emerging for use in 3D printing, they remain difficult to adopt because 3D printer settings need to be adjusted for each material, a process generally done by hand.

Cellulose fiber 3D printing involves the use of cellulose, a renewable and biodegradable material, as a key component in 3D printing processes. The cellulose often comes in the form of nanocellulose – ...

At first glance, biodegradable materials, inks for 3D printing and aerogels don't seem to have much in common. All three have great potential for the future, however: "green" materials do not pollute ...

Asahi Kasei Corp. (Tokyo) recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Aquafil S.p.A., an Italian manufacturer of polyamide 6 (PA6). The two companies agreed to develop a novel material ...

By precisely controlling the ultrasound beam, the team was able to 3D print complex shapes, like stars and teardrops. DISP isn't just a fun new body mod tool, though – animal tests using different ...
