3D Printers Sprout Living Designs

3D Green Printer

The 3D “green” printer produces living prints, printing customized objects in a variety of sizes and forms.

Project PrintGREEN is turning 3D printers into on-demand gardeners after designing a “green” 3D printer in 2013, according to an article on mymodernmet.com. The printer produces living prints, printing customized objects in a variety of sizes and forms. The project was created at the University of Maribor in Slovenia, with a goal to unite art, technology, and nature, creatively producing living designs with the help of technology.

The “ink” in the machine is a combination of soil, seed and water, which can be designed to print in any shape or letter. After drying, the muddy mixture holds its form and begins to sprout grass from the organic material.
