Auburn University Make Strides in Advancing Bio-based Polymers and Fibers for 3D-Printed Home Construction
An interdisciplinary project connecting several Auburn University faculty and fellow scientists seeks to make strides in future advanced manufacturing, including developing affordable homes constructed via 3D printing. The study, which spans the disciplines of engineering, chemistry, forest resources and architecture, also draws strongly upon the expertise of scientists at its partner institution, the University of Idaho, with Michael Maughan, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering, at the helm.
