3D Printing Using Beer and Coffee Is Now Possible
3D Printing Using Beer and Coffee Is Now Possible
2015-10-27 From:FoodProcessing
A US 3D-printing company called 3dom aims to reduce all that waste by offering filament made from barley, hops, and other eco-friendly waste materials, The Next Web reported. 3dom's beer filament is called Buzzed. Its organic components make the visible grain inconsistent in color but this feature is also what makes it interesting. From Quarks to Quasars described the filament as a quirky material reminiscent of wood. Buzzed is compatible with any machine that works with polyactic acid (PLA). It has been tested on many of today's 3D printers like those offered by MakerBot, LulzBot, FlashForge, and others, with no problems. The other filament offered by 3dom is, as you guessed, made from coffee. It is called Wound Up. This filament has a rich brown color and has one characteristic that many will find welcome: the grain smells like a fresh cup of coffee. In fact, the company says, "a cup printed with Wound Up is a true 'coffee cup'".
3dom's commitment to sustainable development is obvious. They partnered with C2Renew to provide the innovative materials of Buzzed and Wound Up. C2Renew is a biocomposite company that researches on materials deemed unusable and turns them into something actually usable. What other waste materials can be used as 3D printer filament?
