This training session offers a practical introduction to large-scale 3D printing using bio-based materials, with a focus on real-world applications in construction and manufacturing. The session brings together experts from the BIO-2-PRINT project to share insights into technologies, materials, and processes that support the transition towards more sustainable and resource-efficient production.

The programme begins with short expert presentations covering key aspects of large-scale additive manufacturing, including the use of bio-based and recycled materials as feedstock. Participants will gain an overview of how underutilised natural fibres can be transformed into high-value materials for industrial use, supporting the shift from linear to circular value chains.

The session continues with a live demonstration of robot-assisted material extrusion (FGF) 3D printing. During the demonstration, participants will see the process from printing to post-processing, providing a concrete understanding of how large-scale components are produced in practice.

The training is aimed at companies, researchers, and other stakeholders interested in adopting new manufacturing methods, developing sustainable materials, and strengthening regional value chains.
