3D Printing an Eggshell Biomaterial

We develop a new, easy-to-make, 3D printable eggshell biomaterial that extends the current material library for 3D printing and promotes circular digital fabrication practices, while also highlighting the importance of ecological awareness and community engagement when designing for sustainability.
