Chalmersforskare härmar ultrastrukturen hos ved för 3D-printade gröna produkter

Forskare vid Chalmers tekniska högskola har gjort framsteg inom 3D-printing genom att ta fram ett träbaserat bläck som härmar den unika ultrastrukturen i trä. Deras forskning skulle kunna innebära ett genombrott för tillverkning av gröna produkter. Genom att efterlikna den naturliga cellulära arkitekturen i trä, presenterar de nu möjligheten att skapa gröna produkter, sprungna ur […]
