There is a tremendous potential for wood-fiber based materials such as paper and paperboard to contribute to lightweight structures in several different applications such as vehicle components, building materials and packaging, among others.

Sep 28, 2024 · Here, we present a low-cost strategy to harnesses waste papers as a feedstock to develop sustainable 3D printing inks. This approach offers a remarkable printability and circular utilisation of biodegradable paper wastes to produce 3D printed constructs, with desired mechanical properties and shape stability for high temperature applications.

Paper-based scaffolds support the three-dimensional culture of mammalian cells in tissue-like environments. These Tissue Papers, a name that highlights the use of materials obtained from (plant) tissue to generate newly functioning (human) tissue ...

Jun 6, 2019 · The three-dimensional (3D) printing technology circumvents many limitations associated with current biofabrication strategies through the combination of precisely controlled 3D structure, 1,2 as well as accurately positioned biomaterials 3,4 and cells. 5 In particular, the biomimetic 3D structures enabled by 3D printing could allow for the ...

Jun 5, 2024 · 3D printing has been offering remarkable exibility and diversity in material and structure designs, revolutionizing a wide variety of industrial sectors, including manufacturing, automotive...

Mar 23, 2023 · Here the authors report a multimaterial 3D printing-based design and fabrication strategy for thick-panel origami structures with push-to-pull deformation.

May 28, 2021 · A bilayer structure composed of the two materials (SMP and paper) by 3D printing was developed to realize the fabrication of the paper-based SMP fingers with various thickness of SMP as well as thickness ratio of SMP to paper.

Jul 1, 2021 · Recent innovations within the field of additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D Printing (3DP) have shown the ability to create structures that have variations in material composition, structure, and performance, providing a new design-for-manufacturing platform for the imitation of natural materials.

Aug 19, 2022 · The microstructure of fibrous paper plays an important role in its property investigation. In this study, an approach is proposed to extrapolate a 2D image into a virtual 3D microstructure. Five types of handsheets made of different pulps were prepared.

We report the development of a class of 3D-printed, configurable, paper-based organ-on-paper platforms where autonomous and continuous delivery of media to engineered microtissue models is readily achieved without requiring external electrical power during device operations.
