MAGICBIOMAT is driving innovation in circular and biodegradable materials through advanced research and AI-based tools. MAGICBIOMAT partners Technological University of the Shannon, have co-authored a new article titled “A Comparison of Granule-Based Material Extrusion and Fused Filament Fabrication in the Performances of TPS/PBS Blend.”
This study assesses a bio-based thermoplastic starch (TPS)–polybutylene succinate (PBS) filament developed for fused filament fabrication (FFF) and compares it with its pellet counterpart, used in granule-based extrusion (GME) 3D printing.
The findings highlight both the potential and the challenges of using bio-based TPS/PBS filaments, stressing the importance of improving GME precision to support sustainable manufacturing.
