TU delft researchers use 3D printing to create a novel living material made of algae

a team of researchers led by delft university of technology (TU delft) used 3D printing and algae to create a novel, eco-friendly, biodegradable, and living material. for the first-time-ever, researchers through different faculties utilized 3D-printers and an innovative bioprinting technique to deposit algae into living, photosynthetic materials that are resistant, tough, and flexible. in the past years, experts have supported that these materials that mimic nature are often the most robust ones.
