TU Delft researchers 3D print living mycelium materials with growth-driven functionalization

TU Delft researchers have developed a 3D printing method that produces living mycelium materials capable of self-assembling functional particles as they grow. This approach could enable construction materials that are both sustainable and capable of adaptive functionality during their lifecycle.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have developed a 3D printing approach for shaping living mycelium materials that can self-assemble functional particles during growth. Published in Advanced Functional Materials, the study demonstrates how fungal networks can be printed,…
