Archibiofoam develops novel techniques for 3D printing bio-based materials
As part of the Archibiofoam project, researchers at Aalto University’s Complex Systems and Materials Research Group have developed novel 3D printing techniques for bio-based foam materials. Under the supervision of Juha Koivisto, the team —Pasi Karppinen, Ammar Hassan, Muhammad Hamza Ali, and Ali Aaraf Gillani—designed a custom 3D printer to handle materials with complex, viscous,…
