Freiburg University researchers develop novel eco-friendly wood-based 3D printing material

Researchers from the Department of Forest Biomaterials at the University of Freiburg (UCF) have developed a novel environmentally-friendly wood-based 3D printing material.  The team, headed by UCF’s Professor Marie-Pierre Laborie, combined lignin, a chemical that provides strength to plant cell walls, with cellulose balls to create a novel biosynthetic polymer. As Lignen is produced endlessly […]
