	Optical 3D printied medical fittings made of bioresins Bio-based material scientists, 3D printing researchers and companies work together on discovering functional bio-based materials for 3D printing. They developed extremely precise medical fittings from bioresings
Bio-derived 3D printable resin for medical parts Consumption of natural resources, C02 footprint vast of waste, especially plastic, are getting larger as the population of humanity is increasing. To reduce all these adverse effects, there is a great interest to search for renewable raw materials and adapt them for sustainable technological solutins, for example, additive manufacturing, which generates less waste than subtractive manufacturing.
	3D printing of composite moulding tool CENTRIA has mixed sawdust into the polymer and printed using pellet extruder attached to robot mould for a boat anchor. We obtained a fully recyclable tool with among other benefits significantly improved environmental performance. Work is ongoing and now we are starting printing large tools and also testing direct printing of composite parts to replace glass fibre composites where possible.
Bio-based 3D printed chocolate box A present that feels good. A bio-based package with multiple functionalities and tailored for you by 3D printing. Brochure
	Bio-based dental 3D printing resin Famous for its accuracy, dimensional stability and surface quality, it now incorporates high amount of bio-based components. You contribute to lowering the use of non-renewable sources when using this material in your dental lab.
Interview about 3D printing living materials Three-dimensional (3D) printing of natural and synthetic materials for biomedical and biotechnology applications is a promising research field with applications that include screening tools and production platforms in a sustainable economy. Additive manufacturing allows 3D printing of polymeric materials together with cells, creating living materials for applications in biomedical research and biotechnology. However, an understanding of the cellular phenotype within living materials is lacking, which is a key limitation for their wider application.
	Antimicrobial shape-memory photopolymers Scientists of Kaunas University of Technology have developed biobased antimicrobial shape memory photopolymers applicable in nanoimprint lithography, optical 3D printing, coating etc.
