Spider silk can be synthesized for use in 3D printing
Spider silk and related recombinant proteins are increasingly recognized as viable biomaterials that can be integrated into additive manufacturing and bioprinting applications.
The claim is specific, empirical, and falsifiable. Papers [6] and [10] explicitly discuss recombinant spider silk and bioinspired materials in the context of advanced manufacturing and biopolymer platforms, supporting the feasibility of synthesizing spider silk for such technologies.
