Look beyond! Using bio-based residual and waste materials instead of petroleum-based resources in additive manufacturing can be a real game changer in times of climate change. Mushroom mycelium is a promising material in this regard. It has excellent mechanical properties when dried and can be used together with other residual materials, e. g. lignin. Within this process, the residual materials are linked via biological catalysts (enzymes). With the help of our print heads for fluids and pastes these materials become usable in additive manufacturing. The results: ● Promotion of a circular economy ● Reduction of waste ● Complete biodegradability of materials ● Energy and chemical savings ● Decentralized production on site For more information visit our website: https://lnkd.in/eTcWSVuC Be sure to also visit the exhibition RETHINK:DESIGN with its main subject “Climate Relevance” and learn more about this exciting topic: https://lnkd.in/ejBQcKHP #ViscoTec #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #MushroomMycelium #ClimateChange #ClimateRelevance #RethinkDesign #Printhead #Volumetric #Precision #Reliability #Efficiency
