KCL Biocomposites

Additive manufacturing

Introducing cutting-edge products designed for large-scale additive manufacturing and fused filament fabrication, enhanced with wood fibers for functionality.

Unlock the potential of additive manufacturing with our versatile materials! Dive into a world of high-definition, waste-free production. While traditional composites, like plastic and glass fiber, offer stability and strength, they fall short on versatility and recyclability. Enter KCL’s innovative 3D printing products, enhanced with wood-based fibers for superior functionality.

Our materials are perfect for a variety of molds—vacuum infusion, sand casting, investment casting, concrete casting—and are ideal for art, décor, furniture, and prototyping. Whether you’re working on small or large-scale projects, our biocomposite products offer new design freedom and support a sustainable future through closed-loop recycling possibility and bio-based content.

KCL’s granules are easy to process in extrusion, thanks to their excellent melt strength and dimensional stability. Plus, they can be blended with native PLA plastic for even more versatility.

Key advantages of the product:

  1. Performs in printing: Fast cooling and extremely low shrinkage. Stays in shape and won’t drip.
  2. Multiple color possibilities: Lignin free natural fibres enable wide range of color options.
  3. Wood-like Post-Processing: Post-process like wood, mill, sand, paint or varnish.
  4. User-Friendly: Safe and easy to print in open atmospheres.
  5. Biocomposites: Made by using fibers sourced from sustainably managed forests.
  6. 100% Recyclable: Our materials are fully recyclable in a closed-loop system.
