Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric properties, by adding materials layer-by-layer to physically replicate a digital ...

Printing ink is made using four components: resins, solvents, pigments and additives. Resin binds the ink together into a film that sticks on the printed surface. Solvents ensure consistent ink flow.

Researchers have created a water-based 3D printing ink composed of approximately 70% lignin, a byproduct of paper-making processes and biomass extraction.

D printing has changed how products are designed and manufactured, allowing engineers and designers to create complex objects ...

In an attempt to make printing a little more environmentally friendly, this solid printing concept uses solid inks, removing the need to dispose of plastic ink holders and packaging. The Wax-on ...

Researchers have published a method for 3D-printing an ink that contains calcium carbonate-producing bacteria. The 3D-printed mineralized bio-composite is unprecedentedly strong, light, and ...

Global print consumables manufacturer Flint Group has solidified its reputation as the sustainable ink supplier of choice after announcing that all its Sheetfed process ink series are now mineral oil ...
