Kulesi senzakalo kufanele sikhulume ngohlelo olusha lapho namuhla kunabacwaningi abaningi abavela ezikhungweni nasezikhungweni ezahlukahlukene eFinland, eChile, ePeru, e-Argentina, eNorway noma eJalimane abasebenza ukufeza thuthukisa ama-bioplastics wokuphrinta kwe-3D kusuka kudoti Kokubili ezolimo nezamahlathi okufana nophayini wephayini noma umoba bagasse.
Lolu cwaningo luholele esiphakamisweni esabhabhadiswa ngegama le- I-ValBio-3D o Ukuhlolwa kwezinsalela ze-biomass zezinto ezinenani eliphakeme elengeziwe lokuphrinta kwe-3D Bio, lapho kwenziwa khona umzamo wokwakha indlela evumela ukukhiqizwa kwama-biomaterials, okuhlanganisa ama-bioplastics kanye nama-nanocelluloses kusuka emfucumfucwini evela ezigayweni nakuma-sawmills.
I-Argentina ithuthukisa indlela yokwenza imicu yokuphrinta kwe-3D kusuka kudoti wezolimo nowasehlathini.
Le phrojekthi iqondiswa udokotela Indawo kaMaria Cristina, umcwaningi ozimele eMkhandlwini Kazwelonke Wezocwaningo Lwezesayensi Nobuchwepheshe e-Argentina nephini lomqondisi weMisiones Materials Institute. Ngamazwi alo mcwaningi:
Ukuthuthukiswa kwalolu hlobo lomkhiqizo kuyinto enhle kakhulu. Njengamanje, amaphrinta e-3D asebenza ngamapulasitiki atholakala ku-petroleum. Inhloso yethu ukukwazi ukuthola izinto ezisimeme futhi ezinokumelana okuhle, into ezokwenzeka ngokusebenzisa i-nanocellulose.
Amaphrinta we-3D akhiqize inguquko enkulu futhi njengamanje ayakwazi ukukhiqiza zonke izinhlobo zezinto ezinobukhulu obuhlukile, ngisho nama-prostheses. Ukuthi lezi zinto zenziwe ngezinto ezitholakale kwizinsizakusebenza ezivuselelekayo kuzoba yimpumelelo enkulu.
