Here’s another project with the worthy ultimate aim of repurposing household plastic waste as useful 3D filament for making new stuff with your home 3D printer. Both the Strooder and the Filabot are ...

If there’s one problem with the RepRap, it’s the cost of filament. Sure, there’s also the computationally difficult problem of slicing 3D models, but a 5 to 10 times markup on turning plastic pellets ...

BOTHELL, WA., 16 April 2015 – NASA has announced that its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program has selected Tethers Unlimited, Inc. (TUI) for award of a Phase II contract to develop a ...

Canon Ecology Industry has developed two types of 3d printing filament, made 100% from parts of discarded multi-function printer/scanners. These are the first in-house developed products from the ...

That appears to be exactly what Proterial is proposing. The patent says the filament contains at least fifty percent by mass thermoplastic polymer, while the reused thermosetting polymer filler can ...

If you're in the market for a 3D printer, you'll find one here that fits your needs. The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that the US generated 35.7 million tons (roughly the weight of 17.8 ...

Want to feel better about the environmental impact of all of those bongs and handguns you’ve been cranking out of your 3D printer? Stop ordering plastic filament in bulk, and dig into your recycling ...

Disposable masks have been a necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic, but for all the good they’ve done, their disposal represents a monumental ecological challenge that has largely been ignored in ...

3D printers require a lot of support. They need gadgets and tools and of course, consumables. If you are using a fused deposition type of printer, the type that uses spools of filament, then there are ...
