Abstract
3D printing, commonly referred to as additive manufacturing (AM), is a rapid technique of making three-dimensional structures from a computer-based design model. Various materials have been used to manufacture 3D structures for different engineering applications, including synthetic and natural materials. In the case of natural materials for 3D printing, nanocellulose gain much attention as a feedstock material for AM techniques due to its high strength, lightweight, and biocompatibility. However, the mechanical properties exhibited in high concentration nanocellulose printed 3D structures are unsatisfactory, as demonstrated in their building blocks due to drying issues. Therefore, this research aims to optimize the proper drying conditions for 3D printed high concentration nanocellulose structures. The 3D printed structures are dried at different humidity and temperature conditions and evaluated their mechanical properties. The scanning electron microscope is utilized to observe the morphology of 3D printed high concentration nanocellulose structures. The research results will significantly help nanocellulose-based industries to overcome the drying issues in 3D printed high concentration nanocellulose structures.
