Narrative review outlines advances in biomass 3D printing across diverse manufacturing methods, highlighting sustainable pathways for low-carbon material production.

Key Points

To review the underlying principles, feedstock materials, technical advancements, post-processing methods, and industrial applications of renewable biomass in additive manufacturing.
Synthesized technical literature across six primary additive manufacturing technologies: fused filament fabrication (FFF), direct ink writing (DIW), stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), laminated object manufacturing (LOM), and liquid deposition molding (LDM).
Evaluated material compatibility, processing requirements, and post-printing enhancement strategies for biomass-derived feedstocks.
Demonstrated that FFF, DIW, and SLS represent the most established platforms for processing renewable biomass feedstocks into functional structures.
Identified critical processing bottlenecks, establishing that expanded feedstock availability, modified rheology, and tailored post-processing treatments are required to improve mechanical durability.
Showed that integrating biomass with digital additive manufacturing offers a scalable, low-energy route for sustainable industrial production.
