3D printing of metals using biodegradable cellulose hydrogel inks

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a fabrication technique that digitally deposits materials in layers to form a desired 3D structure or shape. It is not as wasteful in materials compared to digital subtractive manufacturing (SM). In 3D printing, complex and unique metallic structures, more energy intensive and expensive techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM) or electron beam melting (EBM) are often used. As metals are an important class...
