Description
Ettore Greco and colleagues make an all-wood resin for 3D printing in a 2026 study. Most printing resins come from petroleum. Their resin blends a lignin-derived monomer with acrylated guaiacol, then adds treated pinewood flour up to a stated loading level.
The mix flowed well for room-temperature printing and cured under light. Printed parts showed strong bonding between the matrix and wood flour. Adding the flour raised the glass transition temperature from 38 to 62 degrees Celsius and lifted stiffness and strength. The authors say biomass resins can narrow the gap with fossil-based ones.
