❗Scientific excellence continues within the MAGICBIOMAT project
MAGICBIOMAT is advancing research on circular and biodegradable materials through data-driven and AI-supported innovation. MAGICBIOMAT partners Technological University of the Shannon, have co-authored a new paper titled “Performance of Granule Material Extruded Thermoplastic Starch–Polybutylene Succinate Blend Using Taguchi Method.”
This study explores the processing of an 80% thermoplastic starch (TPS)–20% polybutylene succinate (PBS) blend using a self-modified granule-based material extrusion (GME) 3D printer.
By applying Taguchi’s design of experiments, it evaluates how infill density, printing speed, and layer thickness affect specimen quality, offering insights that support future improvements in sustainable 3D printing.
