MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024433 A) filed by Chennai Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 2, for 'ai-guided additive manufacturing process and product of biodegradable natural fiber composites for sustainable industrial applications.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. P. Elaiyaraja.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a machine-learning-guided additive manufacturing process for producing biodegradable natural fiber composites with superior mechanical, thermal, and surface properties. The invention integrates abundant Indian natural fibers-such as banana fiber, jute, and bamboo-with biodegradable resins (PLA, PHA, or equivalents) and employs AI/machine-learning algorithms to dynamically optimize 3D printing parameters, including extrusion temperature, layer thickness, nozzle speed, fiber orientation, and fiber-resin ratio. The AI system continuously monitors sensor data to adapt printing parameters in real-time, ensuring high-quality, reproducible, and defect-free products. The fabricated composites are lightweight, mechanically robust, and environmentally sustainable, suitable for industrial applications such as furniture, packaging, and lightweight transport panels. The invention supports Indian MSMEs and farmers by valorizing locally abundant natural fibers, reducing reliance on plastics."
