LayFilaments GROWLAY Filament – 2.85mm – 250 g – Brown

Print 3D objects and let biological cultures grow:

1. grass; moss
2. fungus ; mildew
3. lichen
4. mycelium
5. pharma-cultures, mother cells

GROWLAY works like a breeding ground.

GROWLAY properties:

• GROWLAY is microcapillary. Its cavities absorb and store water, dissolved liquid nutrients or fertilizer. Promoted because of the capillary action throughout the printed object.
• Mold grows through the open-cell capillaries and forms a mycelium.
• Seeds of grasses can get caught and grow in Growlay.
• Spores find room to germinate in small cavities. (see SEM-Pics)
• Roots cling to the structures of the object filling.
• Even lichens grow on Growlay. These usually grow preferentially on stones of walls or trees.
• GROWLAY can be sterilized (for food use and research) with gases or wet (but not thermally)
• For color differentiation, objects printed with Growlay can be subsequently colored with food colors.
• absorptive carrier for agents

GROWLAY is available in the functionally different versions white
and brown

• Version white is an experimental filament & fully compostable
• The brown version contains not only pores but also built-in “food” in the form of cell material which is needed for growth
