GROWLAY - Filament / what is it ? print 3D objects and let biological cultures grow on it grass; moss fungus ; mildew lichen mycelium pharma-cultures, mother cells GROWLAY works like a breeding ground. Add seeds or spores to them and they will grow. GROWLAY properties: GROWLAY is microcapillary. Its cavities absorb and store water, dissolved liquid nutrients or fertilizer, promoted because of the capillary action throughout the printed object. Mold grows through the open-cell capillaries and forms a mycelium. Seeds of grasses can get caught and grow in Growlay. Spores find room to germinate in small cavities. (see SEM-Pics) Roots cling to the structures of the object filling. Even lichens grow on Growlay. These usually grow preferentially on stones of walls or trees. GROWLAY can be sterilized (for food use and research) with gases or wet (but not thermally) For color differentiation, objects printed with Growlay can be subsequently colored with food colors. is an absorptive carrier for agents. GROWLAY is available in the functionally different versions white and brown Version white is an experimental filament & fully compostable The brown version contains not only pores but also built-in "food" in the form of cell material which is needed for growth GROWLAY - two versions: GROWLAY-brown, porous + woodparticles, for any user not compostable with open capillaries polymer contains organic nutrients (+wood particles) higher tensile strenght more rigid as version white increased temperature stability the filament can be printed just as easily as Laywood, brown filament print at: 235°-250°C GROWLAY-white, pure & porous, experimental filament for experienced users compostable polymer with open capillaries white filament print range from: 85° - 135°C
