Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing or additive manufacturing is a technology that has drastically developed in recent years for numerous industrial applications. Among the 3D printing methods, fused deposition modeling requires filaments to generate 3D objects. Currently, the polymers used in this technology are synthetic ones derived from nonrenewable resources such as petroleum. Green polymers (including natural polymers) are a sustainable alternative as they are biodegradable/recyclable, nontoxic, and abundant. However, their implementation in 3D printing remains a challenge. This chapter is focused on the most popular and promising biodegradable polymers from biomass produced by microorganisms or derived from biotechnology for applications of fused deposition modeling. Their thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties are also discussed in detail.
