There might be a need to find greener alternatives of leather. This is a way to process silk to make it stronger, tougher, and compatible with a custom-built pneumatic extrusion 3D printer for a final leather-like material.

Our work is centered on the use of naturally-derived materials that minimize the use of toxic chemicals while maintaining material performance, so as to provide alternatives for products that are commonly and widely used today.
