- 3D Printed PLA Reinforcement Offers Sustainable Alternative To Steel In ConcreteAdditive manufacturing is transforming the construction industry. It enables designers to produce building components directly from digital models with greater precision and less waste.…
- CREAMELT® PLA-HICREAMELT® PLA-HI is a biobased 3D printing filament with high impact strength. It is made from natural resourced PLA (Polylactic Acid), which is additionally modified with impact modifier that makes it more impact resistant rather than most other PLA on the market.
- A 3D printed wind turbine made of PLASenior lecturer Ross Stevens of Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, in collaboration with industrial designer Nicole Hone, developed a potted plant inspired wind…
- EconCore 100% bio-basedThis sandwich panel has a core of PLA based hexagonal honeycomb made in a continuous production process. Only moments after the core is produced, skin layers are added in a second step of the continuous production process. These skins can be made from unfilled PLA material to make a mono material panel or, in case a higher performance is required, can be replaced with consolidated flax in a PLA matrix.
- Cereplast Expands Bioplastic Applications with Freeze-Tolerant Compostable ResinBiopolymers used in freezing temperatures. This is possible with the new polyactic resin developed by Cereplast. HAWTHORNE, Calif. -Cereplast, Inc., manufacturer of proprietary, bio-based,…
- Coffee PanelsThese coffee panels are composite materials produced from coffee grounds and a biopolymer, polyactic acid or polylactide (PLA). Due to the characteristics of the materials used, these coffee composites have similar properties to MDF and may be machined by various techniques such as CNC, acquiring numerous forms and geometries reliefs. Coffee PLA composites are 100% biodegradable.
- Circular Coated FabricsThe presented material is a replacement of the traditional fossil-based coating with poly(lactic acid), a biobased plastic that is chemically recyclable. The objective was to demonstrate, within one year, the technical feasibility of a PLA-coated film that can be converted after use into high-quality raw materials through an environmentally friendly recycling route (alcoholysis).
- Micromoulded biocompositesDesigner Bas Froon developed a micromoulding machine that makes it possible to locally change material qualities from a soft material into a strong and lightweight plastic. By doing this, he can keep the tactile qualities of the raw material, while giving it more strength to be used in furniture, fashion and textile applications. The material consists of natural fibres or recycled textiles and biobased plastic like PLA.
- Tea And Coffee Waste Become 3D Printed Design ObjectsThe exhibition After the Last Sip explores how used tea leaves and coffee grounds can become materials for furniture, lighting and sculptural objects. Presented…
- DESERT: Computational Design And Hybrid Biobased Materials In Furniture ResearchDESERT is an experimental coffee table by Nyxo in collaboration with Studio Cartier. The project explores how computational design, additive manufacturing, and biobased materials…
- 3D printed structure made with bamboo-reinforced compoundsBamboo is a strong, sustainable and very diverse material. It can be used to build amazing structures (like this and this). Techmer ES (TES),…
- Eco-friendly printing with beer, coffee and hempThis month, 3d printing filament company 3Dom USA in collaboration with biocomposite company c2Renew presented their latest product 'Entwined', a biobased, sustainable 3d printing…
- Drawing in the airIf you’re a designer, you know how hard it can be to get your brainwave from the page into reality. So why not print,…
- Mod-U Explores Biodegradable Materials Through Modular Lighting DesignThe lighting system Mod-U combines an eggshell composite, PLA-coated Unryu paper and plywood in a modular lighting design by Melbourne-based designer Joanne Odisho. The…
- Sitting on sustainable seatsWhether it is in the office, in a car or binge-watching your favourite show, sitting is a large part of our life. While sitting…
- Sustainable PEF 3D printing material is made with cellulose3D printing is becoming increasingly popular, as it is a relatively fast method to produce objects with little waste material. The most commonly used…
- A self-folding tulip made from common 3D printing materialCombining origami techniques and 3D printing, researchers at the Technical University of Delft managed to create 3D printed, flat structures that self-fold into 3D…
- SizopregSizopreg is a bio-composite made of high-quality poly lactic acid (PLA) and jute. These decorative panels are dimensionally stable in typical conditions, but also retain excellent ductility in the higher temperature ranges. Sizopreg has a workable temperature range from -30 to 80 degrees C. It is also thermally deformable and biodegradable.
- BiotexBiotex are a series of natural fibre reinforcements/biocomposite materials, including yarns, tapes, fabrics/textiles and preconsolidated sheets. The standard product range is based on flax, flax/PP and commingled flax/PLA. Components can be made from the fabrics or tapes using conventional moulding techniques. Biotex are recyclable and in some cases fully biodegradable.
- Special FilamentsThe ability to 3d print with various materials on your desktop 3d printer appears to be a very important aspect for many users. Therefore, Colorfabb ventured into the world of composites for 3d printing at home with materials such as woodFill, bronzeFill, copperFill and bambooFill.
- Bio-FlexBlends of co-polyester and PLA with, depending on the particular grade, a very high contend of natural resource material
- 3D Printed Y-Zipper Opens New Possibilities for Adaptive DesignResearchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new type of three-sided zipper that lets objects switch between soft and rigid…
