GROWLAY Filament for Planters, breeding ground

GROWLAY - Filament / What is It? Print 3D objects and let biological cultures grow on them. Grass, moss, fungus, mildew, lichen, mycelium, pharma-cultures, mother cells. GROWLAY works as a breeding ground. Add seeds or spores to it and they will grow. GROWLAY Properties: GROWLAY is microcapillary. Its cavities absorb and store water, dissolved liquid nutrients or fertilizer. Promoted due to the capillary action throughout the printed object. Mold grows through the open-cell capillaries and forms a mycelium. Seeds of grasses get caught and grow in GROWLAY. Spores find room to germinate in small cavities. Roots cling to the structures of the object filling. Even lichens grow on GROWLAY. These usually grow preferentially on stones or walls. GROWLAY can be sterilized with gases for food use and research, or wet but not thermally. Objects printed with GROWLAY can be colored with food colors for color differentiation. GROWLAY is an absorptive carrier for agents. GROWLAY comes in functionally different versions: white and brown. Version White is an experimental filament and fully compostable. It has open capillaries, a print range of 85-135°C, and is made from a compostable polymer. Version Brown contains pores and built-in "food" in the form of cell material needed for growth. It is not compostable, has open capillaries, and includes organic nutrients (+wood particles). This version has higher tensile strength, more rigidity, increased temperature stability, and can be printed at 235-250°C just like Laywood. Read an article about GROWLAY on 3Ders.
