LoopOfFun was at the trade fair Formnext, 18-21 November 2025 in Frankfurt, Germany! Dr. Achim Weber (partner Fraunhofer IGB) showcased our 3D-printed fungal-based ELM samples and presented our first prototype, the LoopOfFun stool. Great interest and inspiring exchanges! #EIC #ELMs

Dr. Achim Weber at the Fraunhofer IGB, LoopOfFun's Partner, is developing bioinks made from fungi for 3D printing. These sustainable inks could enable applications like fire protection and custom designs for furniture and construction. Watch the video to learn more! #EUeic #ELMs #3Dprinting
