Project Context

Project Context

Bio.3DGREEN has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme under Grant Agreement No. 101174399, within the call on Bio-intelligent Manufacturing Industries. The project runs from May 2025 to October 2028.

Bio.3DGREEN develops a novel, bio-inspired, and bio-based graphene foam (GF) manufacturing platform for high-performance, sustainable components. By replacing fossil-based materials in key industries, the project enables carbon-positive production through a laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) process inspired by nature.

The project combines advanced materials science, bio-inspired design, and sustainable manufacturing practices to create components that are both high-performance and environmentally friendly, pushing the boundaries of next-generation industrial production.

Innovation

Innovation & Implementation

Bio.3DGreen accelerates Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) innovation by providing advanced digital tools and AI-assisted assessment for lifecycle and circularity evaluation of graphene foam products. YLISENSE leads the development of an AI-assisted environmental and sustainability assessment, including a circularity score engine, and oversees Life Cycle Costing (LCC) analysis for GF components.

Our web-based ecosystem empowers product designers and sustainability engineers to implement SSbD principles from day one, combining cutting-edge analytics with seamless workflow integration.
