In Finland, the VTT Technical Research Center has been developing a complex 3D generated wound care product that will be used for monitoring wound conditions while patients are in the hospital.

 .

More specifically, they’re using cellulose nanofibrils that have properties that can improve the characteristics of bio-based 3D printing pastes. Interestingly, the research center is pioneering this nanocellulose synthesis via textile decorative elements that will be used to mock up their production before using them for human wounds. This is a unique approach that’s proving to be quite effective.

3D Paste Printing

 .

Of course, 3D printing has been an efficient manufacturing method used for many kinds of structures, from large scale fabrication of physical products, down to the nanotechnology level . But it’s also been used with thermal plastics as well as a wide range of biomaterials for 3D paste printing. 3D paste printing, though useful and innovative, has […]
