This paper reports a 3D printing based manufacturing method using biomass-fungi composite material. The biomass is derived from waste agricultural materials. The fungi grow through the biomass and bind the biomass together. The novel method comprised the preparation of a printable biomass-fungi mixture. After printing, the fungi grew inside the printed sample over a few days. The feasibility of this new method was demonstrated by a preliminary experiment. In comparison to molding based manufacturing processes, 3D printing can facilitate greater flexibility in design and print custom designs for packaging and construction applications.
