Development of palm oil-based fly ash powder-binder system for three-dimensional printing

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is one of the techniques in rapid prototyping (RP) technology which creates parts directly from graphical data computer and it is being widely used in diverse areas. However, the cost of the 3DP material is high and limited to a number of choices that can be used...
