The Project

Bio.3DGREEN introduces a novel, nature-based approach towards the design of the next generation of vibration-, noise- and shock-absorbing components from sustainable graphene foam (GF).

By mimicking sponge-like structures found in nature, known for shock absorption and vibration mitigation, Bio.3DGREEN develops and demonstrates a cost-effective, bio-based solution from vegetable oil-derived graphene.

This EU-funded project combines biomimetic engineering and laser-based Additive Manufacturing (AM) to generate durable, lightweight components for applications in automotive, aerospace, and shipping sectors. Inspired by biological structures such as trabecular bone and honeycombs, the manufactured parts exhibit high performance even under extreme environmental conditions.

Our aim is to make advanced graphene technologies more accessible and applicable across industries by:

Enabling the scalable manufacturing of complex, custom-designed components

Using carbon-positive, bio-based raw materials such as vegetable oils

Demonstrating performance in real-world industrial applications

Supporting the EU’s circular economy objectives through recyclability and lifecycle analysis (LCA and LCC).
