Lithuanian researchers from Kaunas University of Technology<\/a> and Vilnius University synthesized and tested a bio-based resin for optical 3-D printing (O3DP). The bio-based resin made from renewable raw materials proved to be universal for both table-top 3-D printers and state-of-the-art ultrafast laser, suitable for O3DP in the scales from nano- to macro- dimensions. This, according to the researchers, is a unique property for a single photo-resin.<\/p>\n

Optical 3-D printing (O3DP) is a rapid prototyping tool and an additive manufacturing technique being developed as a choice for efficient and low waste production, yet currently associated with petroleum-derived resins. During O3DP, the photo-curable resin is solidified by treating it with light; such technology makes 3-D printing very flexible and precise\u2014the elements can reach sub-micrometers, and also can reach macro- dimensions. The main shortcoming of O3DP is connected to the limitations of the printing materials: their origin, physical and chemical properties, which make the resins not suitable for all setups.<\/p>\n

“A universal bio-based resin developed by KTU researchers can be used for a multi-scale 3-D printing. Up to now, no single resin was developed which would allow manufacturing of ultra-fine nano-\/micro-features and macro-objects out of the same composition”, says Dr. Mangirdas Malinauskas, Laser NanoPhotonics Research Group Leader at Laser Research Centre of Vilnius University (VU).
\nDuring the experiment conducted by VU researchers, a multi-scale (up to 5 orders) optical 3-D printing of bio-based compound was performed using both state-of-the-art laser nanolithography setup and a common table-top 3-D printer. Additionally, chess-like figures were made in an industrial line commercially delivering small batch production services (3-D Creative). The bio-based photo-resin proved suitable for all app<\/a>lications without any further modifications. According to Dr. Malinauskas, this is a unique property for any single photo-resin (regardless of its origin).
\nThe novel bio-based photo-resin was developed at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU). The research group working at the KTU Department of Polymer Chemistry and Technology and headed by Dr. Jolita Ostrauskaite designed formulations of photo-curable resins for optical 3-D printing, as well as synthesized, characterized and investigated the rheological, mechanical, thermal properties of polymer materials obtained from these resins.
\n“Currently, only thermoplastic bio-based polymers used in thermal 3-D printing technology are commercially available. KTU scientists have developed a bio-based photo-curable resin which can be used for optical 3-D printing. Bio-based photo-curable resins for such technologies are not currently available on the market”, says Dr. Ostrauskaite.
\nAccording to her, the biggest advantage of the novel bio-based photo-curable resin is the ability to obtain their components from renewable raw materials, moreover, these components can be purchased in commercially large quantities.
\nAlthough the novel bio-based photo-resin is not commercialized yet, the researchers claim that it could be used immedia<\/a>tely on demand in industrial lines as it was shown to be compatible with commercially available setups of JSC 3-D Creative. As the developed material is still very new, further investigation is needed for its safe and economical use in industry.
\nThis eco-innovation is advanced further within the InterReg project EcoLabNet, a Baltic region-based network consisting of RDI and SME’s.<\/p>\n
