Bio-Composite Filaments Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) and Cocoa Bean Shell Waste for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF): Production, Characterization and 3D Printing

Bio-Composite Filaments Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) and Cocoa Bean Shell Waste for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF): Production, Characterization and 3D Printing

In this study, novel biocomposite filaments incorporating cocoa bean shell waste (CBSW) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were formulated for application in Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology. CBSW, obtained from discarded chocolate processing remnants, was blended with PLA at concentrations of 5...
