Resins for visible and UV light 3D printing are actually developed by using acrylates and other chemical derivatives. Due to the toxicity and the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) during the printing process of the commercial resins, we decided to develop natural based resins. In particular, we demonstrated how vegetable oils can be converted in monomers for 3D printing. Moreover, a new photocatalyst, derived from renewable resources, can be exploited for the polymerization. Almost no VOC are released from our formulations and the printed object can be biodegradable. Now the resins are at a development (lab) stage. With the help of crowdfunding we propose to develop the product.
