A new era of 3D-printing "microfactories" is helping to turn waste plastics into "highly competitive" products fit for use in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a special 3D-printed plastic that is cheap and flexible. The plastic is made up of a substance they call thermoplastic elastomer. This elastomer is made up of several different ...

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 ...
