FibreTuff prefers cellulose fibers for innovative biomaterials

FibreTuff has been using cellulose fibers for a reason in developing they're unique compositions for 3D printing, molding and extrusion. In particular, FibreTuff biomaterials include cellulose fibers because these fibers resemble the collagen fibers of bone tissue, cellulose has been implicated in bone tissue engineering applications (Shi et al., 2012). This statement is referenced in the article Cellulose Biomaterials for tissue engineering author's Hickey and Selling published by Frontiers of Bioengineering and Biotechnology https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6438900/

The FibreTuff biomaterial composition, processes, and to make the end use products special, there is patented and proprietary knowledge developed by Robert Joyce over the last 17 years. Robert Joyce, President and Founder of FibreTuff has now commercialized FibreTuff biomaterial compositions in 3D printed fused deposition modeling (FDM) and laser sintered (SLS) methods using cellulose fibers with thermoplastic compositions. Though FibreTuff biomaterial composition has produced structural anatomical bone like models that are functional and have conductive ability to show cell and tissue in growth, Joyce isn't done on improving the FibreTuff Technology. FibreTuff is a hydrophilic phenomena that can have a high level of biocompatibility with an ability to heal patients in less time compared to existing biomaterials like metals, PEEK with low levels of biocompatibility that require coatings for conductivity.
