Yale Environment 360 notes ASCC biobased house
In an article about the rise of biobased materials, Yale Environment 360 noted that the University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC) manufactured 3D-printed house made from a mix of forest byproducts from the state’s numerous sawmills: sawdust, wood flour and a bio-resin whose ingredients have not yet been disclosed. “This material is recyclable. If in a hundred years this house becomes unusable, you could take the material, grind it up, and print another home or other structure or something else useful. It could be repurposed for the future,” said Evan Gilman, the ASCC’s chief operations engineer.
