AB - To facilitate the
ongoing transition toward a circular economy,
the availability of renewable materials for additive manufacturing
becomes increasingly important. Here, we report the successful fabrication
of complex shaped prototypes from biobased acrylate photopolymer resins,
employing a commercial stereolithography apparatus (SLA) 3D printer.
Four distinct resins with a biobased content ranging from 34 to 67%
have been developed. All formulations demonstrated adequate viscosity
and were readily polymerizable by the UV-laser-based SLA process.
Increasing the double-bond concentration within the resin results
in stiff and thermally resilient 3D printed products. High-viscosity
resins lead to high-resolution prototypes with a complex microarchitecture
and excellent surface finishing, comparable to commercial nonrenewable
resins. These advances can facilitate the wide application of biobased
resins for construction of new sustainable products via stereolithographic
3D printing methods.
