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.

Printer compatibility

Armadillo Green (XL)

Armadillo Green was designed to advance the use of natural and entirely safe materials without any harmful compounds in additive manufacturing. This includes printing bio-based materials with our environmentally friendly and food-safe Bio Binder.

Armadillo White (XL)

Consistently test with tiny material volumes, benefit from built-in hardware support for compounds that cure with heat or UV light, or analyze and adjust the binder drop size, speed, and shape – it’s all possible. Armadillo White is a researcher’s dream.

Product Design

Sustainable product design includes using natural (waste) materials to create value. CONCR3DE’s Armadillo Green makes it possible to 3D print unique wooden products from sawdust waste. We do not add any harmful chemicals in the production process - with zero residual waste.

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.

Print your own materials

Our team of binder jetting experts is ready to enable you to use your own powder-based material for printing. We can either test your powders with existing binders, or even create unique combinations with custom binders. We strive to deliver the material you are looking for in an optimized printing and scalable production process.
