Bio-based

Our open binder jetting platform enables printing with bio-based powders and sustainable binders, which makes it possible to print objects from natural (waste) streams without impacting the environment.
Wood
Natural wood can only be shaped by creating waste: sawdust. CONCR3DE now upcycles this waste with a bio-based binder to create high-quality wood with a natural texture, for applications that include design and architecture.

BB1001 Bio Binder
CONCR3DE developed its Bio Binder to achieve an almost inexistant carbon footprint. Bio Binder is food-safe, made from environmentally friendly materials, and can be dissolved in water. This binder significantly overcomes any health hazards that associated with some traditional binders, both for the operator and the end-user. Bio Binder opens the way to novel applications, especially in design and the food industry. Its dissolvability in water and the biodegradability of the materials makes Bio Binder an essential for circular economy applications.

Technology
Binder jetting 3D printing is based on two key elements: a powder and a binder. The powder can be a concrete, metal, ceramic, or other material you want to bond in powder form. The binder is a liquid, which acts as an adhesive between powder layers.
