A commonly used material in 3D printing is plastics. The reason being is that it is readily available, cost effective, and allows for rapid prototyping. However, plastics pose an environmental concern ...
Plastic waste is a big problem in our world today. It's important for makers who use 3D printing technology (which generates plastic objects) to consider the waste hierarchy paradigm. Here's the thing ...
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Hasso Plattner Institute have developed a new 3D printing software that can reduce plastic use and preserve the strength of an object, ...

Researchers turn spoiled milk into 3D printing materials — extracted proteins from dairy waste combined with polymers to create plastic alternative
This work turns what would otherwise be an agricultural liability into a potential input for advanced manufacturing.
While it's possible to 3D-print plastic or metal items, printing single items made of both materials is still quite difficult. Scientists have developed a new method of doing so, however, that could ...
Los Angeles-based startup Azure is using recycled plastic to 3D print prefab homes. The startup is now selling several models ranging from a backyard studio to a two-bedroom ADU. Azure says it can ...
A 3D-printing technique with dual nozzles enables a new form of metal-plastic hybrid printing. Applications include 3D-printed electronic components for healthcare applications, according to ...
Current 3D printers employ either plastic or metal only, and the conventional method to coat 3D plastic structures with metal is not environment-friendly and yields poor results. Now, scientists have ...
How many plastic spoons, knives, and forks do you think we throw away daily? [Stefan] noted that the compostable type is made from PLA, so why shouldn’t you be able to recycle it into 3D printing ...
