The lab uses 3D printers to develop environmentally friendly materials from residual resources.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating materials and structures in harmony with the environment
The Environmental Materials Lab uses industrial 3D printers to create materials and structures that are in harmony with the environment.
Using residual resources such as slag from steel smelting and shells from seafood processing, the lab is developing Earth implants such as fish reefs and landscape stones.
It also works on processes that control the joining and coating of metals, ceramics, and polymer materials with ultra-fine precision at the nano and micro levels.
The lab aims to contribute to a sustainable society that is kind to the global environment.
Key terms
- Residual resources
- Resources such as slag from steel smelting and shells from seafood processing, which this lab uses in its development work
- Earth implants
- Things made from residual resources, such as fish reefs that show environmental compatibility and landscape stones with an atmosphere-adjusting function
- Joining
- Connecting materials to one another. In this lab, the targets are metals, ceramics, and polymer materials
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on building and optimizing component structures, aiming for harmony and coexistence with the environment while bringing out the functions of materials to the fullest. Using computer-aided fabrication and welding systems, it is developing processes that freely join and coat metals, ceramics, and polymer materials, as well as Earth implants that make use of residual resources.
