Cellulose – Biobased Platform for Chemicals
cellulose molecule
Cellulose is an organic compound, a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to over ten thousand β(1→4) linked D-glucose units. Cellulose is an important structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Some species of bacteria secrete it to form biofilms. Cellulose is the...

3D Sand Printing (Foundry Casting Moulds)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFGnjkoeDng#t=10
Sand printing process uses conventional foundry-grade materials to digitally create moulds & cores for sand casting, without the need for a physical pattern.
Furan resins, suited for sand casting foundries, create complex sand cores and moulds directly from CAD data, eliminating the need of a...
