Background: Biopolymers and Additive Manufacturing
Plasticization of a corn protein for Additive Manufacturing

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is one of the most widely used 3D printing processes for rapid prototyping and the production of custom-made polymer parts based on digital models generated by computer-aided design (CAD)  .

Along with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymers, polylactic acid (PLA) is a versatile material widely used in the formulation of filaments for FFF 3D printing, with the advantage of being...
