Bio-based VPP photopolymers

Abstract

This white paper covers bio-based VPP photopolymers with high bio-carbon content, framing renewable-carbon formulation as one pathway toward lower-impact additive manufacturing materials. Bio-based content must be treated as a measurable material attribute rather than a vague sustainability claim. The relevant engineering question is how bio-carbon content is balanced against mechanical, thermal, printing, cleaning, curing and end-use requirements. Bio-based content does not automatically imply lower extractables or device-level biocompatibility.
