Final Project

I am interested in building a 3D printer specifically designed to print using egg materials as a base material. I worked for several years as a line cook and we often used egg wash as a way to repair breaks in food when cooking. My logic is that since egg is a binder, it has material properties that will allow for it to successfully be used in an additive manufacturing process. While egg is a viscous fluid at room temperature, I do not think that it could be stored in filament form, and so I have ruled out an FDM analagous process as a possibility, although I do think the machine’s structure will utilize the Gantry pick and place format .
I am curious about applying a material or binder jetting process but I have not yet decided which one would work better.

Research

Here is some background on additive manufacture processes categorized by ASTM’s F42 committee, taken from the Quad Cities Chamber ADditive Manufacturing Playbook
