Cellulose modifications could support more sustainable FDM 3D printing filaments, review finds

Researchers have identified how chemically modified cellulose can enhance the performance of FDM 3D printing filaments while reducing environmental impact. The findings could enable construction companies to use more sustainable materials for on-site and off-site 3D printing applications.

Researchers have reviewed how chemically modified cellulose could improve the performance and sustainability of fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing filaments. Published in Carbohydrate Polymers, the review examines functionalization strategies designed to make cellulose more compatible with…
