Additive Manufacturing of Biopolymers: Materials, Printing Techniques, and Applications describes various biopolymers that are currently used in additive manufacturing technologies and identifies the challenges/limitations in the materials and printing processes. The book provides basic knowledge and advanced details about 3D printing techniques and the applicable biopolymers as well as the latest updates on materials and techniques for 3D printing of biopolymers. Each chapter dedicates a section to future trends and perspectives in additive manufacturing of biopolymers from the use of biopolymers and new techniques point-of-view.
